I am using a large scale seed sprouting system. Let me know if you are interested in something like that.The only problem is that its freezing outside. Where I live, we are about to have a huge winter storm coming in this weekend.
I may be. Depending on how large, as I am limited on space until I buy our next property. Any advice is always welcomed and appreciated.I am using a large scale seed sprouting system. Let me know if you are interested in something like that.
Thank you Tom, I appreciate the advice. We have seed purchased from tortoise supply.You'll need some intense lighting. Might find what you need at a Hydroponics place.
For soil, you can use just about anything that doesn't have pesticides as long as the tortoise won't have access to it. In other words, if you are going to cut handfuls from your plots and feed it to the tortoises in their enclosures, you have a lot of leeway with the soils and their composition. If you intend to use trays and let the tortoises graze themselves, you'll need to be much more selective. No perlite or vermiculite. No "wetting agents". You'll have to read the ingredients list. They put all sorts of crazy additives in most soils now.
For grass seed, nothing works better for me outdoors than this one:

Be careful with seed mixes from the hard ware stores. Again, they put in all sorts of crazy additives to keep the bugs away and make it look nice. That hardware store seed is not intended for consumption. Horse pasture seed is.
I've used most of the seed mixes from Tortoise Supply and love them all. Good stuff.Thank you Tom, I appreciate the advice. We have seed purchased from tortoise supply.
