Default Re: My Aero~Garden...

Received some papaya seed from the Univ. of Hawaii and started germinating them in the AG. Results were slow so I tried putting an aquarium heater in the resavoir and brought the temp up to 82 to 86 F and the papaya germinated in 4 days and all of the seed followed along. We think that the added heat helps gettiing them going. They are removed and potted so there is room for more seeds. Endless cycle. Hoping to get some fruit this late summer. Some pics soon. Thanks
