How to start seeds using coco fiber

Growing you own produce is a great way to subsidize your food bill. Being self-reliant can start with a simple garden.

I purchased the coir fiber at: http://hydro-gardens.com/growing_medias.htm#EZGro
I purchased the Organic Fertilizer at: Amazon.com



How to start seeds in coir fiber:
  1. Buy some coir fiber (coconut fiber) and expand with water


  2. Add Organic Fertilizer that won't burn your plants to coir fiber. 

  3. Fill potting containers with coir and fertilizer mix.

  4. Place seeds just below the surface of the filled containers. (Plant seeds as far down into the soil as they are thick)
  5. Label the plants.

  6. Spray pots with spray bottle until really moist.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap (This will create a greenhouse effect to help spout the seeds).


  8. Put in a warm sunny place.

  9. When plants sprout then remove the plastic wrap and continue to water.
