Seattle’s technology billionaires are many things: innovators, visionaries, philanthropists and some less polite descriptors, depending on whom you ask. But thanks to some scrupulous digging by industry journal The Land Report, which tracks land ownership across the country, we now know that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has another feather in his multi hyphenated career cap: America’s Top Private Owner of Farmland.
Gates has spent years quietly diversifying his $129 billion fortune through asset manager Cascade Investments to include at least 224,000 acres of U.S. farmland since at least 2014, when the acreage was rapidly increasing in value. But a few weeks ago, The Land Report Editor Eric O’Keefe revealed Gates’ field-topping stake in cropland as well as that he’s now the 49th largest private owner of land in the country, period.

Clean potting soil or seed starter mix.
Trays and containers for planting. You can purchase these at any garden center or use your own. Many gardeners save yogurt containers and cardboard egg cartons just for this purpose. Just be sure your containers are clean so disease and pests aren’t a problem. Fill containers with soil and set them in a tray to make them easy to move around and to catch water that drains off after watering.
A good light source for at least 12 hours a day. Even if you have a sunny southern exposure, days are not quite long enough yet, and rainy days aren’t bright enough. Without adequate light, plants become weak and leggy. Use grow lights or adjustable desk lamps and position them just above the trays.
