I have two raised beds empty at the moment. Several years ago I did winter sowing and it worked good, but I have trouble getting all the plastic containers here.
I am thinking that the principle to sow in winter is in order to grow healthy plants, let them be stratisfied, without disruption from animals or wind.
What would be the problem with covering my beds with some arched mesh, covered with garden fleece? the moisture would still come through, the seeds would still get light but not be disturbed by the elements? Also it would be easier, just sow in rows and mark each row with marker, not all kinds of different containers, duct tape, etc. etc.
Anyone think of a reason this would not be as good as plastic
milk bottles, etc/? I'm in Bulgaria, no plastic milk bottles and most plastic containers a bit too limp here.
would really appreciate feedback, would start sowing towards middle of January.
