Netters,
I had a grower ask for help that I could not provide, to his
satisfaction. I thought this would be a good group to ask.
The grower wants to market a "kit" with seed and organic "tablets"
that absorb water and provide an environment for seed to get started before
transplanting. I suggested the product that I used to use called "Jiffy-7."
This suggestion did not satisfy him, for reasons not completely understood.
There may be a question about the "organic" component or maybe the price, I
don't know. I did say that I would ask SANAET-MG to see if someone could
provide info.
Thanks in advance.
