Becky, I agree with you regarding the positives with hydrogen peroxide.
We haven't tried Osmocote, but it sounds as if it is great for seedlings.
Yep, sounds as if you are indeed ready for some serious culling, and that
is so difficult to do, especially when the seedlings need to remain for 2-3
years for evaluating like it is here. I am fairly overwhelmed this year just
thinking about all the plant stats I will need to collect this season.
Karen, I was way off on the size of the fertilize. It is a 50-lb bag, not 10-lb for $10-12.
I edited the above post to reflect this. I checked and Tractor Supply carries it.
This is the second time we tried 10-10-10 for seedlings. Last year, I had tomato
seedlings doing poorly with the common brand of liquid fertilize, so the granular was applied, and the tomato plants responded with huge, lush foliage. Gorgeous plants.
We generally use this fertilize for trees, lawn, and garden.
