Also paper towel rolls tubes just cut them to your desire length then cut 4
panels at the bottoms and flood them like you would a box . Bang ! You got
mini seed starting pots and then you can plant the seedling with the paper
pots it the bigger pot because paper is biodegradable.
I was lucky to find a multi-purpose compost that is ideal for seed sowing,
general potting and soil conditioning, it is not a top brand either so
doesnt cost a fortune. Yoghurt pots are used in my house for larger seeds-
works for me
Good vid!!!
thanx everso for the advice on the light issue, it really is overwhelming
how many choices there are out there. BTW, if that water is straight from
your tap, your next video could be an adventure in plumming problems and
how to speak to a hardware store person so that they know what you are
asking for the first time you ask them….
Every one else says in grow light bulbs go 5000 kelvins and 2600 luminens.
I have
four from lowels home improvement at $9.00 for a two pack. Necessary? your

I’ve been working on seed starting some herbs. I keep killing them off one
way or another: too little water, too much water, too little light. But
that’s okay, I just keep replanting and trying again. I’ll eventually get
the hang of it. :)
Every time I eat greeck Yoghurt (twice a day) I wash the plastic cup and
use that for seedstarting. Works great and it’s free and I re-use the
plastic. I have tried paper but the bottom falls out when I water them.
Hey Eric and T.C.O. Another great video with a lot of good information and
as always love the interaction with TCO. Loved your “I was hoping you
wouldent point that out” totally funny!!
Keep the info and updates growing our way :-{}
I planted from seeds my first year but every year since I’ve slacked and
not started early enough. I figure if I don’t start by the first week in
April it will be too late so I just give up on planting seeds and instead
buy the seedlings from the local hardware store. When do you start your
seeds? (I’m in MN)

couldnt you grow them in a window and turn them round every few days to
even it out ?

I have never been successful planting from seed. No one would know how bad
I am by looking at my yard, but it’s true. I fail miserably every time.

That is the best advice……turn off the TV and do something useful! …TV

As always very informative

I heard that vermiculite is carcinogenic. Is that true?
Gnats are extra protein haha
Good job!

Thanks for a really informative video, some useful information, especially
the swishing of the seedlings to get them used to the wind.
I’m off to learn more about cowpots now, a great idea.
Best wishes from the UK, Kay
The only thing I would say is turn your pots round each day then the plant
will stretch towards the window and the light
