Dear Almanac,
Some time ago in this forum or one like it you published an artical or manufacturing advertisement regarding planting herbs and plant starts, a bulb of burlap ready for putting direct into the soil. You were advertising a system to make plant starts as simple asap! This could have been as long as a year ago and I meant to document the information and failed to before it was too late? If possible could you point me in the right direction. I have an Idea to improve on this and it could be very beniffical to your readers.
Sincerely
