    Baccto Growing Medium

    Wayne, I have 12 of the 18 cell trays. I would be interested in seeing some pictures. I may have to go that route if I can’t find the right stuff. Especially knowing that method/mix has worked for you in the past. Thanks!

    I am looking for some sawtooth acorns, but I am in zone 5 so I am looking for something grown closer to my zone. I would have some red oak acorns to offer or I would be willing to pay.
