Seedlings have started to really grow now but root depth is only about 1 inch so far. I am not sure if this is due to the soil that is underneath the topsoil cover or not. This next layer of soil is much denser and is made up of more clay than I am currently comfortable with.

The middle bed is suffering from a lot of seedlings taking a beating from watering. I installed a drip line as opposed to an overhead sprayer to allow the plants a better chance at not being knocked over. Once they get bigger I will let them be watered from above.

I transplanted about 10 seedlings into pots this weekend. Into a sandy loam soil recommended from Vertreess. I used a ratio of 2 to 1 topsoil to sand respectively. Just a test.
