The nice thing is that the roots grow through the paper very easily
and make transplanting a sure thing. You actually have aabout three
or four layers of paper. You can make it thicker if you want but
completely unnecessasry. When making them you need to averlap by
about an inch and fold this over the base. The bought ones are
designed to comprss the base and hold it more firmly. It is this size
which I think will make ideal little post for growing a range of plants
for baby leaf salads. They could easily be grown on a windowsill.


Thank you for bringing this subject up, Bigal

How many layers do you typically use?
