Hey Neighbor! Starting seeds indoors? Don't let weak, leggy seedlings ruin your garden! In this video, we're breaking down why grow lights are a game-changer for strong, healthy plants. From choosing the right light to how long to run it each day, we'll cover everything you need to know to give your seedlings the best start possible. Get Dirty and let's grow together!

Starting seeds indoors can be a rewarding step in gardening. It allows you to get a head start on the growing season, select the best plant varieties, and save money compared to buying seedlings. However, success depends on a few key factors, two of which are the right soil mix and the proper seed trays. In this episode, we'll explore the best soil options for seed starting, the different types of seed trays, and practical tips to maximize germination and seedling health.Find the Show Notes and Links Mentioned at: https://redemptionpermaculture.com/exploring-seed-starting-soil-and-tray-options/

Success with starting seeds indoors comes down to a handful of factors: your materials and technique, soil temperature, air temperature, light, and air flow. How we approach each of these will determine how successful our outcome is. Just like any new skill, starting seeds indoors and successfully getting them to the transplant stage takes practice. Last week we talked about the supplies we need to get started. This week, we're covering how to use them. Today on Just Grow Something, we're going to run through what I would consider to be best practices in terms of each of these factors. We'll talk about the optimal way to approach seed starting and talk about where we can go wrong. By the end you'll be able to decide for yourself whether you should tackle indoor seed starting as a beginner or where you can improve if you've been there before. Let's dig in!

Join Richard in this weeks veg grower podcast and this week Richard is sharing his tips for seed starting success, from the allotment we have a question from a listener about saving potato seed and finally we have a new project of making our own compost in order to be more self sufficent. Kitchen garden update: Seed Starting Success. With March and Spring being just around the corner, it brings with the real seed sowing time. Seed sowing is a skill in its own right but this week Richard suggests ways in which to make seed sowing more successful for you. This tips include: Use the freshest seed possible and buy from a reputable source such as Premier seeds direct or Simply Seed. Use a good quality seed compost and add a bit of perlite Heated propagators help warm the soil, but a soil thermometer also helps you work out when the soil is warm enough When you seedlings germinate they need light and grow lights can really help with strong growth. Allotment update: Saving our own Seed Potatoes Down on the allotment this week Richard is answering a question from a listener by the name of Steve. Steve is asking if its possible to save our own seed potatoes. Saving our own seed potatoes can help save money and also could mean we could have our own supply of varieties that may not be available in the garden centres. Richard reflects on a time when he did save his own seed potatoes and how that worked out and shares how he managed to save his own seed potatoes. Something he feels we should all do more of as we try and be more self sufficient. Chef Scott's Recipe Of The Week. Chef Scott is back with another delicious recipe and a interesting twist on the good old broccoli stem. Tempura broccoli is one to delight many when it arrives on the kitchen table adding a oriental zing to a delicious vegetable. And Finally making our own compost mixes. Towards the end of this weeks podcast Richard shares a new project he is attempting. Making his own ingredients to mix his own compost mixes. Over the years Richard has noted that compost is one of the most expensive costs in growing his own food. After doing lots of research Richard has identified ways of making it possible to make his own compost. But this starts with making his own ingredients.

This week we're focusing on what we need in terms of supplies to get those seeds going. There are tons and tons of options out there from the plain basics to the super fancy and everything in between. There is also a wide range in terms of how expensive those options are. Today on Just Grow Something we'll talk about the six things I think you need for basic seed starting and then the items that are either nice to have's but not necessary or downright scams. If you've thought about starting your own seeds indoors but shied away because it seemed like you needed way too much equipment, we're going to demystify that today. Let's dig in!

Hey Neighbor! We are continuing our seed starting series with trays! Do you really need a seed starting tray? Our trays are designed to provide an environment that creates strong and healthy plants! From specially shaped cells to extra holes for air flow, we've made sure to add an extra level of quality. Our newest seed starting tray is so sturdy you can run it over with a car! Get dirty and let's garden together! 

Once those seed orders are rolling in, your garden plan is shaping up, and the days slowly get a little bit longer, we start to get restless. We want to get our hands in the dirt! This leads to the temptation to get started on our indoor seed starting, but for most of us it really isn't time to start very many of those seeds just yet. This will depend on your growing zone, of course, and when your last spring frost date is if you have one, but it will also depend on what you're planning to grow. Today on Just Grow Something we're going to narrow down, step-by-step, how to time your seed starting whether you're just dipping your toe in or have been doing it for a while. It does take practice to get the timing right and there is no foolproof plan because conditions change from year to year. But by the end you will know exactly what steps to take to get yourself as close to target as possible so you don't have 18” tomato plants begging to be planted a full three weeks before it's warm enough for them to go outside...speaking from experience.

Main Topic: Seed Starting 4 Keys to Successful Seedlings Light, Light, Light A window isn't going to cut it—this is the #1 reason for failure. Use proper, full-spectrum grow lights (like Burrina lights) positioned uncomfortably close to seedlings. Keep lights on 12-16 hours per day for strong, stocky plants. If you don't have grow lights, be prepared for leggy seedlings. Soil Temperature Matters Too cold? Bad germination and weak seedlings. Ideal temp: 65-85 for many plants Use a seed heat mat (updated links below) or place trays in a warm spot like on top of the fridge. Consistent Moisture—Not Overwatering Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy. Bottom watering is best—use trays with no holes to create a DIY water table. Overwatering leads to weak roots and damping off. Underwatering even once can stunt growth for the life of the plant Potting Mix & Soil Biology If you're new, just buy a good quality seed-starting mix. Look for fine-textured, bark-free soil. Pro tip: Add a quart of soil from a well-run local garden to introduce beneficial microbes and integrate local soil biology. Advanced growers: Make your own with compost, biochar, worm castings, and indigenous microorganisms (IMO). Compost tea made from local soil is a fantastic boost. Soil Mix Don't mix your own unless you know what you're doing (WRONG ADVICE) Experiment while setting yourself up for success—but start with a 50/50 blend before committing fully. Learn from my mistakes Trays & Containers Deep pots (3-4 inches) = Stronger roots Plastic trays with no drainage holes work great for bottom watering. Solo cups are cheap and effective (poke a few drainage holes). Peat pucks: Can work, but I don't use them. Peat pots: Just don't. Choosing Seeds: Heirloom vs. Hybrid It's all okay! Pick what works for your system. Good seedling choices: Tomatoes, peppers, kale, chard, broccoli, lettuce, loofahs. Less ideal: Squash, cucumbers (direct sow if possible). Don't start indoors: Peas, beans, carrots, and most root crops. First Year: Choose 1-2 things, experiment, and don't stress if you buy starts. Keep going! Troubleshooting Germination: The Paper Towel Trick Use damp paper towels in a plastic bag to check seed viability before planting. Keeping Costs Down (While Buying Quality Equipment) Source second-hand greenhouse supplies from local growers. Attend local seed swaps (like the one here in February) for high-quality, adapted seeds. Consider bulk seed buys as a community.     Make it a great week!   GUYS!
