Veggies are here!

My vegetable seeds from Burpee have arrived and I have begun the germination process. I ordered Scallions, Nantes Carrots, Cilantro and Catnip (for the cats, naturally). I sowed the seeds into Grodan rockwool starter plugs. These are similar to jiffy pellets but are made from rocks spun like cotton candy, so they are inert. I planted these directly into the right most grow bed beneath the surface of the hydroton. That happens to be where the maximum height the water reaches as it fills and drains. (See below)



I then covered the rockwool with about 1/2" of hydroton. Should expect to see sprouts in 1-3 weeks!
