Hi all,
I have germinated and planted 6 Endless Sky beans.The germination went fine but now I'm second guessing my soil choices.I am in a rural area in central Ontario and we just have a hardware store with limited garden soil at this time.So, thinking I would save some money I bought their cheapest potting soil.So it turns out that the soil is too heavy, I mean I added verm. and perl. to it and then ran water through it till it came out of the drainage holes.It felt heavy(thick) to me at the time but my beans had germed and this being my first grow, i guess i panicked and planted them anyway.I thought the perlite would make the soil airy so i didnt worry about the cheap soil.Now, is there anything I can do to give the germies a chance to grow in the wet thick soil or should i start over?I have moved the beer cups i have them in close to a floor heating vent to help dry out the soil a bit.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
