Very neat Joe, I wonder if tomato plants can be done the same way.

Great video Joe! Thanks so much, I got my kit in the mail yesterday. Great surprise when I got home from work. It still gets pretty cold at night. Today is actually last frost date. I'm going to get them started inside tonight. I'll toss in a little epsom salt in one to compare. I have a big bag of it that I use in my aquaponics setup in the greenhouse. Fired that up today, I plan to run it with fish in the tank this year. Last year it ran on ferts because my fish weren't really big enough, but they are now. I built that out of an IBC tank, you can check that out if you go back a little in my greenhouse blog. http://alex-dome.blogspot.com/

I used 2 inch since the thickest stalk of the eight foot tall sunflower was 1.25 inches thick. Same size for the hole puncher piece.
HOWEVER, the length of the pipes was very, very scientific. That was the length that would fit into the Post Office box.

The concept is really to have a stable "pot" for starting seeds, then no need to transplant, just plant the pot, which is PVC pipe. At the same time the pipe funnels water and fertilizer to the roots. And it is re-useable. Plus it allows for the starter plant to stay indoors longer if needed, say cause of frost. It has a foot of pipe to grow roots in. Gives people in cold climates a month long jump on starting gardens. Win-win.
