It is a paper pouch lined with a compostable plant plastic liner, transforming the diluting process. Simply tear open the pouch at the notch and fill the pouch to top of the label.

It's time to work in the gardenMy seedlings are hardening off, so they are strong enough to go into the garden.I planted my cabbage and broccoli seedlings. I did a kale experiment last Nov., and planted small seedlings to over Winter and get a head start this year. It worked but I'm not harvesting kale. I'm growing seeds!! That was my original intention when I planted these last fall, but didn't know it worked until I saw the little seed head flowers emerge. Get your hands dirty and see if you can grow a salad or a tomato sandwich!
