LanTerra Update > this must be summer...The garden tractor fired right up yesterday and I got out and fixed the cutting deck as the grass is getting green here in Ontario.

I started a batch of seeds for my 2 gallon competition pots this week. The Niagara convention has me amped up large now that spring has sprung from the cold depths of winter.

I have potted up 5 sacrificial seedlings in each 2 gallon pot to help host the RTI Myco for an early start-up. I hope to continue the seed starting for a few more weeks and have lots of little myco host plants going all season long. Here is the mix I have decide to use this spring.

Into a good potting mix of about 40 liters of 1/3 peat, 1/3 soil and 1/3 perlite I have added.

1 cup alfalfa meal
2 cups 2 year old coffee grounds
1 handful RTI MYCO
1 small part GVGO special space sauce mix
a dash of 5-15-5 with IBA
3 teaspoons RTI AZOS
1 smattering of molasses
3 liters of H2O

Throughly mixed and let stand for 24 hours or so. Pot when seed roots are throughly emerged from the shell. Each potted seed is getting another 1/2 teaspoon or so of RTI myco as it hits the soil.
