I started yesterday getting things ready for winter sowing. I had jugs from last year that still had the lids attached so I started with them. I have dirt in 5 gal buckets from last year that I amended with organic compost manure. I dumped one bucket in a tote and added some miracle gro potting soil and some peat moss and filled the jugs with the mixture. Then I put them in another clear tote and added water to the tote so the water can seep into the jugs from the bottom. I have not added the seeds yet. Also I put toilet paper rolls in each one with dirt around them. That way I can just plant the paper roll in the ground and not disturb the roots. I did a few last year and it worked okay. Today I plan to get the seeds put in these and get them sealed and put outside. I have a bunch of jugs that need the holes punched in the bottom and tops so that will be my next job.
