After reading up from Okoroemeka and Ogbongenet and from others is time to go practical.

excanny:
Did you perforate the pure water nylon at the bottom?

Instead of perforating I used scissors to cut open the two tail ends at the bottom so if the nylon sits the water will drip at both ends. just my method.

The nursery

The medium I used is pure water sachet and about 27 disposable cup

I used 1 seed per sachet

To save time, though lazy approach due to insufficient sachet I planted 4 seeds per sachet on few remaining nylon.

I used pig dung 2 shovels to 10 shovels soil

I will be showing us the following

1. Seed variety used
