It's an organic, biodegradable one-time use fabric made of—my best guess—coconut husk. My plan is to put it right in the compost pile when I'm done.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687340159825245112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-89024245281687246552008-01-15T14:03:00.000-05:002008-01-15T14:03:00.000-05:00What are you growing them on?

It takes a lot of seed that would surely feed more mouths as mature plants. But, it packs a nutritious punch, and it gives me something to offer my CSA members when not much else is growing.<BR/><BR/>Christy, a good link to get you started is <A HREF="http://sproutpeople.com" REL="nofollow">Sproutpeople</A> out in California. Not necessarily the best prices, but a whole lot of info. Johnny's has seed mixes along with the added benefit of being closer to us regionally.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687340159825245112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-13121382984003917402008-01-13T15:42:00.000-05:002008-01-13T15:42:00.000-05:00I like this idea.
