Abstract
A method and associated apparatus for planting seeds and growing plants wherein the seeds are planted in a germinating soil mix in a group of adjoining enclosures placed upon a substrata of virgin soil or other plant nutrient medium, the plant roots growing directly into the substrata, with no replanting. The enclosure group provides a plant spacing reference, so that the growing area is efficiently used, and the germinating soil mix may be sterile so that cultivation for weed control after planting is not necessary. For storage compactness and economy, expandable honeycomb paper may be utilized for the enclosure group.
