Growing Media Trials at the Montana Conservation Seedling Nursery

The Montana Conservation Seedling Nursery (MCSN) in Missoula produces 750,000 container seedlings annually in containers ranging in size from 66 cm3 (4 in3) up to 61 L (16 gal) pots. The MCSN is a production facility with no research funding. When we encounter a promising idea for improving our seedlings or the efficiency of nursery operations, we rarely perform detailed tests. Our standard is a “quick and dirty test.” If initial results are promising and we can eliminate anticipated risks, we quickly go operational with the change.
