Sowing in a seed starter gives me several advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I can have the seed starter in the city, on the balcony or on the terrace<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The plants in their first weeks of life have an ideal and strong soil mix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I can select and transplant the plants that will become stronger. My garden will not have empty spaces from plants that would eventually not grow if I sowed them directly into the soil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s fun as I watch the seedlings grow day by day. Besides, I don&#8217;t expect to make a living selling my produce. I do it for my personal enjoyment and to have quality food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The speedling tray seed starter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Greece is a blessed country. It has a very good climate and relatively high temperatures. This means that we don&#8217;t need special facilities to place our own seed starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other countries you will need special structures (like mini greenhouses), in which you can place your seed starters. In Greece, such facilities are not always necessary. The climate of our country is favorable. But if you have access to such mini greenhouses, you can use them. I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought some speedling trays (made of molded polystyrene) from the local nursery store. Each tray has 60 planting positions. These trays were originally developed by Speed\u00adling, Inc., for large-scale agriculture. The company\u2019s patent has since run out, so a lot of manufacturers are making them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-felizol.jpg\" alt=\"An empty speedling tray seed starter\" class=\"wp-image-150\" title=\"An empty speedling tray seed starter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-felizol.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-felizol-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see in the photo above, each planting position has a hole for water drainage. You might need to place a rock over each hole, just like you do in the planters. Make sure the stone is relatively flat and covers the hole. When you do, you will have a picture similar to the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-felizol-petres.jpg\" alt=\"Place a small rock above each speedling tray seed starter holes\" class=\"wp-image-151\" title=\"Place a small rock above each speedling tray seed starter holes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-felizol-petres.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-felizol-petres-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soil mix for seed starters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In seed starters, you shouldn&#8217;t put plain soil from your garden or potting soil that you can find at the market or in supermarkets. seed starters, to be successful, need a special soil mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally used <strong>Potgrond P<\/strong>, made by <a href=\"https:\/\/klasmann-deilmann.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Klasmann Deilmann GmbH<\/a> which was recommended to me by my local nursery store and I have no regrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/potgrond-p.jpg\" alt=\"Potgrond P soil mix, made by Klasmann Deilmann GmbH\" class=\"wp-image-152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/potgrond-p.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/potgrond-p-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/potgrond-p-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/potgrond-p-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Potgrond P<\/strong> is a blocking substrate based on high-quality frozen through German black peat, made specifically for seed starters whose press pots are up to 6 centimeters deep. It is available in 70 liter packs and is sufficient for several nursery pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can consult your agronomist about the type of soil mix to use in your seed starters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filling the tray&#8217;s planting positions with soil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to fill the tray&#8217;s planting positions with soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-vazo-xoma.jpg\" alt=\"Fill speedling tray pots with soil mix\" class=\"wp-image-153\" title=\"Fill speedling tray pots with soil mix\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-vazo-xoma.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-vazo-xoma-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Filling each press pot with soil is not enough. The soil mixture is thin and will get compacted after the first watering. So after you have made the first filling, you should press the soil so that it packs. Refill the press pots and repeat the compacting. You can use various methods and &#8220;tools&#8221; to compact the soil. Like your finger tips or a bottle like shown in the following photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-pato-to-xoma.jpg\" alt=\"Compact the soil inside each pot\" class=\"wp-image-154\" title=\"Compact the soil inside each pot\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-pato-to-xoma.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-pato-to-xoma-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the speedling tray with all its pots filled looks like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-xoma-gemato.jpg\" alt=\"The speedling tray seed starter is ready for sowing\" class=\"wp-image-155\" title=\"The speedling tray seed starter is ready for sowing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-xoma-gemato.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-xoma-gemato-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I start sowing the seeds, I pour a little water in each location to allow the soil to settle more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I sow the seeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I create a small hole in each press pot to put the seeds in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-anoigo-trypa.jpg\" alt=\"dig a small hole to place the seeds\" class=\"wp-image-156\" title=\"dig a small hole to place the seeds\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-anoigo-trypa.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kartela-fytorio-anoigo-trypa-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The hole should not be too deep. 1 cm is more than enough.
