Workshop Day 4: Seed Starting, Companion Planting, Crop Rotation

Seed starting: Avoid these Common Mistakes (Part 1)

Learn how to start seeds indoors and most importantly how to avoid these common seed starting mistakes. I walk you how to start tomato seeds- we grow a year’s worth of tomatoes from just 18 plants I start indoors. I share the best containers to use (how to get them for free), what to know about seed starting in egg cartons, watering tips for best germination, and more.

How to Make Sure Your Seed Starts Grow Healthy (Part 2 )

Learn how to transplant seedlings from egg cartons, options for containers when transplanting, how to tell if they’re getting enough light, what to do if your seedlings are weak before it’s too late, best grow light practices, my hardening off schedules and why you must do it if you want your plants to survive.

Companion planting

Companion planting is a time honored gardening tradition that can naturally help lower disease, combat insects, and boost your plant’s growth. Learn the guidelines of companion planting, which plants are friendly with everyone and which ones are dreaded enemies, plus which herbs and flowers can act as natural pest deterrents, and creating a better environment all the way around for pollinating insects.
