Thanks- not such an airhead, I promise. I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out whether to use the AG and what components to purchase. Upon reviewing the information on the site, the Master Gardener kit seemed to have very small sponges compared to the seed kit sponges for basil, tomatoes, etc.; presumably, this is because it's only supposed to be for starting seedlings to transplant in the garden. Have you been successfull growing larger plants in what look like those little seedling sponges? I appreciate the insight- I want to be certain of what I need (and what is successful) before laying out the cash and potentially having to spend money on return shipping if I'm making an incorrect assumption.
