Running Experiment
Make a dirt elevated row of grow medium , like row crops that farmers do ,
A pixture of my experiment does not show up with my cheap built in camera .
An elevate row of grow medium allows me to drip water along my row , but drains quick and the sides of the row , due to the quick drainage of the elevated row , makes oxygen get to the root as it grows , This allows me to germinate the seeds without getting seed rot or root rot and prevents bad bacteria from growing because good oxygen is getting to the roots due to the wedge elevation when I created an elevate row of grow medium , like the corn row crops shown below , the dirt is elevated where the corn is growing , allowing good drainage and good oxygen is provided to the corn roots due to gravity drainage in the elevated grow medium where the corn roots grow , When I water the soil is only really wet for a short period of time and drains quickly at which time the soil is good moist soil and good air content where the seed is and in the root zones as the root grows . After the seeds sprout remove the weakest seeds as all of the seeds sprouts . Or , if all of the seeds are strong , I will cut down past the root zones and transplant the seedling to another pot so that I have only one seedling per pot .
Corn Row Picture
Black Plastic 2.5 " by 2.5 " Pot . Great for small seeds like the size of a Poppy seed . Mint Plants and Catnip and many other plants have very small seeds and need an elevate row crow medium so that you can keep the medium moist but not wet ; creates very good water or nutrient moistness so that seeds don't rot and roots get good amount of air from the sides of the elevate row crop like the farmers do in the corn crop row technique seen in the above picture ,
