Planting JBP Seeds

[Andew09]

Guys and Girls,

After receiving the seeds which i aquired after limped across the line in the size and species competition i thought it best to get you thoughts on best potting mix for them, so thought it best to ask the locals what they use for best results up here.

This is my first time planting seeds like this also as i've also purchased slightly more established stock, so any care instructions would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks in advance.

Check these links out, this is the process I use and it has worked for me:

I just use the same mix I use for all seeds. If you don't have a tried mix buy some seed raising mix from the nursery. Scatter the seed over the surface and cover to about the same depth as the thickness of the seeds, water and wait. At this time of year they will probably be up in a week or 2.
I stopped doing seedling cuttings. I just shorten any long root when i transplant the seedlings. there is no difference after a couple of years.
