Organic Seeds And Plants. Purchase seeds and plants is one of the biggest investments for the organic gardener.
I know many gardeners who want to break up the money to buy plants. Now I'm not here to say bad things, but there are other ways that do not damage your wallet ...start your own organic seeds!
If you know what you're doing - and as you will read this article! :) - Not only will you save money on seeds / plants, but you will find the right quality of the plants you know!
Another advantage to starting your own seeds: you can plant more because the money you save!
The first thing you should consider ...
Did you start your seeds in space?
I recommend the room, if possible ... They have higher rates of survival!
How to Start Seeds in the New Inside
First make sure that the pot or container with a good home!
Over the years I have bought and used tires, new good choice until I realized that not only exists, but it works better as a platform for the seeds of many of my ... egg carton!
Platform for a big tip for the initial seed: a carton of eggs is by far the best container to use.
Furthermore, sterile potting soil that flows quickly, but still retains moisture.
I suggest using a soil-less mixture containing vermiculite, perlite or peat.
Remember to moisten the mixture before filling the container with ... should be moist, not wet! (And make sure you do not pack boxes too tight!)
Placing one or two seeds in the mix and cover lightly with more mix.
All you have to do is fog the following soil and cover with clear plastic ... Make sure your container has plenty of light and heat. (I have found that the heat mat works very well!)
Then came the fun part: the seeds begin to grow! (Remove the plastic when it happens.)
When you start to see some of the leaves, you have the dirt with a solution of half strength every week.
You will start seeing your seeds grow out of their container ... make sure you have a larger container, so you can move when it's time.
You'll know when to plant them out as you will see that they have "hardened". (This is a qualitative assessment of ... just see and feel it!)
How can I start seeds Outdoors
I know I've said, but remember: it's * much * better to see the plants in space to begin with.
That being said, when you begin you should follow the instructions on the packaging reads. This will tell you what time of year for planting, such as sowing, how much space between the seeds, etc.
The best thing you can do to survive in the open air to ensure that the package will be followed to the tee!
After planting the seeds, cover loosely with damp soil and soft soil at the top - be careful not to remove the seeds!
