hi, im new to the growing scene and i have some questions. first off, id like to say i have no money, if i did id probably buy the best of everything i could, but i cant.
now, here is what i have:
-some dry potting soil (with the white rocks in it)
-plain soil from a field of grass
-about 30 seeds to plant
i know i should go buy some better soil, but i am looking to grow only enough for myself, and about 4 or 5 good plants at a time would suffice.
id like to know, what should i do to make the best out of what i have? i dont have any nutes to add either. i was thinking about germinating some seeds in wet papertowel, then plant them in styrofoam cups for a while. i figure styrofoam is a good start because it will hold the soil and water, and i can make holes for drainage easily, and also it is easier for roots to break through. after the plants are strong enough, i am hoping to transplant them to the outdoors.
the problem with outdoors tho is that i have mostly grassy field around my house, which should be rich in nutrients, but doesnt seem to be. i already planted some seeds in this soil outside and 1 out of about 20 seeds came up up, then died after about a week, sprouting no more than 4 leaves. but i think it may have been because i didnt germinate them before planting.
but, anyway, thats a quick and confusing mess i put up there, but its a start. so anyone have any ideas or tips for me?
