This morning I made the command decision to transplant the seedlings! Lazy,that I am, I did put a few into plastic cups (with hole poked in them) filled with gravel,then a bit of gravel gently placed on top to prevent floating. But after a bit decided to transform the nursery into a garden bed.
I accomplished this by using a dremel and drilling drain hole through each "pocket" then placed the entire tray on top of gravel.. I will amend this entry if the whole thing floats and ends up greeting me at the studio door!
I did find that we had drilled the Drain-holes a bit high on the end of the plastic tubs. Although the top tier drained very well due to the syphon action of the pump when it shut off,the lower tiers left to much water remaining. This can be remedied with your own by drilling the drain-hole right at the base of the tub-wall.
Because I am a cheapskate,I merely poured enough pea-gravel in each of the lower tubs to raise the cups above the residual water-hopefully this works-time will tell!
