I think the same 🥰❤️

I love the soil blocks. Just a fabulous method using them. It saves the time for fiddling with getting seedlings out of the plastic seedling pots. Love this channel.

Very informative.

Love yout work! Great job!

This is my 2nd year to start seeds, I find it rewarding and exciting, I’m just a hobby gardener but growing from seed is definitely money saving.. I’m enjoying your channel…

Thank you so much!!

So glad I found this channel!! Love that you take the time to explain things so well.For some of us old small market farmers... we need simple ,easier, 'down to earth', ways to do things. Use what you have!! I honestly had never heard of the cattle panel greenhouse till now!! OMgosh. I love to watch my other farmer friends with the hoophouses and acres. I'm just over 1/2 acre ..Z5...retired. That cattle panel would suit my space AND my fixed income!!! I could possibly get ranunculus to grow, finally. Thanks alot!!!!

I really enjoyed you showing using your greenhouse for actual growing in. Many have them set up like a patio or sitting place with a few plants around. Since my greenhouse doesn’t see a lot of direct sun in winter I need to up my game with lighting. We live among lots of tall trees so when the sun is low in the sky…you get the picture. 😊

Can you do a video on wholesale flowers? How to get started or where to sell wholesale flowers?

It is so encouraging to see how many plants you are able to start in your greenhouse. Mine is similar in size, about 8x8. I have around 700 seeds started in there now. All is well and good until time to up-pot in a few weeks!

Thanks for the soil update!

Love the channel, and I have been slowly watching all of your videos! Something that came to mind when I was watching this is that I would be cautious using fiberglass trays if they do not have a UV resistant coating. UV breaks down fiberglass and can cause fiber bloom which sheds the fibers all over the place. I would think that inside a greenhouse this would cause an issue with lots of direct light. Just something to think about.

They are coated, they’re actually made for cafeteria use and exposure to heat ❤️

Excellent information & analysis!

If you were in a zone 5b, could you still start flowers like eucalyptus and lisianthus in the glass greenhouse? Or would you recommend to start indoors then move them into the greenhouse?

Do you feed your seedlings in your soil blocks? If so what do you use? (Love your channel!)

Could you share a link of the thermometer you were using for the greenhouse?! Thank you!

Is there a video without a long discussion of soil blocks? I sort of wanted to hear about the 20K in plants. What's planted, how far along?...I dare not mention soil.

There’s one we just posted today on our channel. :)

It's my first time growing hardy annual plants and I'm confused on after I harden them off and plant them out, do I have to protect everything if I get a hard freeze? I thought those plants could take the colder weather? I love your channel and am so inspired by you to grow in a more sustainable way. I always learn something new when you put out a new video and I can't thank you enough for all you do!!

Depending on how cold it will get and the plant, you might or they might be fine! Our bells of Ireland, lisianthus, sweet peas, foxglove are fine down to around 20 degrees!

@@Blossomandbranch ok thank you. That's what I thought but I hear so much talk about covering them, so I thought I was missing something.

Thanks for your sharing, could you share the link to buy the deep root tray (is that around 3.5" deep)? thanks

Thanks for sharing!! I’m super curious about dog fur vs wool. I don’t have sheep but I have huskies and it’s a lot of fur! Do you have thoughts about grazing animal fur vs other animal hair? I might just experiment and see how it goes 😅

I love that idea. Their fur keeps them warm in Arctic climates so it makes sense.

Hi...what wireless thermometer do you use in your greenhouse? I didn't see it in your Amazon store. Thanks

Oops, it’s a Govee! I’ll add it :)

I have been soil blocking for 3 years now and I use the same type of trays as you do. I came across a few farm channels that do soil blocking and they were linked to companies that sell soil blocking equipment and the trays they use don't have a solid bottom. The bottom is more mesh style and then they place the mesh tray into a solid tray for watering. They were saying using soild trays doesn't make sense when soil blocking because it messes with the air pruning. What are your thoughts about this? I'm wondering if I should switch to mesh style trays or continue to use solid trays.

@Blossomandbranch

Жыл бұрын

I really prefer the solid bottoms! They are much easier to water and the blocks don’t disintegrate like they do with the mesh bottoms. I actually like the little bit of root system you get at the bottom with the solid trays rather than the mesh, gives me more root area to plant-if they air prune at the bottom the root depth is limited! Hope that makes sense!

Do you sale your plants, or just the flowers?

Both, depends on if we have extras!!

How do you know what plants benefit from soil blockers and which isn’t ideal for that?

@@Blossomandbranch so when it’s time to up-pot them, then they go in a pot or do they stay in this. Some of the seeds like tomatoes and peppers wouldn’t be ideal right? Just seeds that can be started then go right into the garden? I haven’t heard this so still learning
