starting seeds indoors

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I hope this is not off topic. We would like to start some seeds indoors to plant later in the garden. (Stuff like tomatoes and herbs etc.) But we have 7 indoor cats. They will dig in the dirt and eat anything that comes up. The only solution we can think of is to grow them in my sons bedroom and always keep that door shut. However I am worried about him being in there all night (and he studies in there most of the day also) with the door shut and breathing the dirt. It will actually be potting soil I guess, or some kind of compost..?

Would that be harmful? Do you know what to grow them in that is not harmful to breath?

If it will harm him at all I would rather just not grow anything until we can do it outside.

Thanks,

Brenda

My friend puts tooth picks in her plants, and she claims that it will keep them out of the soil. Might be worth a try. You could just put some soil in a pot and see what happens.

There is a lot of mold in dirt. I personally would not do it in a bedroom some one sleeps in.

Most seed starting containers have a clear plastic cover to keep them moist when they are seedlings. I have started seeds for over 20 years this way and have several cats and dogs.

Oh - I was going to start them now and not take them outside until June 1st. They would be way too big to live under that plastic cover. ( I guess I could start them much later.

What do you grow them in? What kind of soil?

We have a small house and 9 people living here. There really is not a room except the kitchen where someone does not sleep. The kitchen has no room for growing seeds. (

Someone wrote that the soil would have mold - which is what I was afraid of. And not so much the cats digging in the dirt as eating every green thing that pops through. Maybe if I start them in may I could do it out in a cold frame or something. I am in Montana.

 

Thanks,

You could create a tent out of plastic bags from the store when they get older and prop it up with sticks.

Dear Brenda,

Growing the plants indoors is a great idea and will help to contribute to an improved oxygen level.

Move the cats out doors. ;-) Use regular ceramic pots and your son should be fine.

In Health and Love,

Doc
