Changes to crops:
-I replanted the assorted microgreens in the gray bin to the right of the shelves. I took the already open seed packet named “microgreens flavorful mix” and sprinkled the remaining seeds all over the planter.
Narrative:
-I noticed today that the gray bin to the right of the shelves was staying super wet and wasn’t draining properly after watering. After inspecting further, I realized the drainage hole was still screwed shut. I put one of the white hanging bins underneath it and opened the drainage hole. It is now draining properly and this should help prevent root rot in future plants.
