Jatropha Plantation (Seedling, Part 3)

OK, after we get the good seed (from previous post) its time to plant it :) If you decide to plant it on a polybag then you can use soil and manure with 1:1 ratio as media. Normally it'll take about 5-7 days to germinate/sprout. You can see the seed of Jatropha here.
How about planting it directly without using polybag? well of course you can. You can plant it on a seedbed with 10 cm x 10 cm spacing. And yes, the cost will be lower than using polybag (no polybag cost of course).
After couple of days you can see your plant grow like picture below :)
