I always wondered why seedlings planted communally in large wide seed trays seemed to grow quicker and larger in the same time as those planted individually in small pots?

Re: Bed out or keep potting on?
apparently, fish in ponds and aquaria are self limiting in growth in a similar fashion - I suppose it's all to do with not outgrowing one's resources.
Do you think I could persuade my waistline to stop expanding by wearing tight clothes?

Re: Bed out or keep potting on?
maybe I need to pot mine out individually then they have been communal for 2 years now and seem to have stopped growing. Trouble is everytime I seperate any within a month they die and I have no idea why. So I leave them as long as I can.
