I've been stating seeds in my kratky hydroponics system. It is a pain getting the plants out of the net cups to plant in the garden. Originally I cut out some of the net in the cups, but it still would damage the roots when I pulled the plant out of the net cups. I've been testing some other methods. I've cut the bottom out of the net cups and supported a rapid rooter plug with 3 toothpicks. I've also cut some pool noodles and put the rapid rooters in the hole of the noodle to support it. (I had to enlarge the hole or it compressed the rapid rooter too much so it didn't absorb the water well. Both seem to be working pretty well. Later I'll post pictures of the results.
