Thats a really good tip and makes so much sense because the seed will start off in the starting mix which is normally a "cooler" soil and then once the roots keep going the potting mix would immediately be available which the plant will love because it searching for water it is searching for nutes too.

Understood, but honestly just mix peat moss and fine horticultural vermiculite in a 3:1 ratio, removing the large fragments _by hand,_ and your seedlings will do just fine.

I just use blended dried leaves and ground soil (1:1 ratio) with some bone meal as my seed starting mix. Never really understood the appeal of seed starting mixes to be honest. I tell my seeds from day 1, i'm not the best gardener so this is survival of the fittest.

I noticed quite a boost in health for my plant babies when I started testing out bottom watering certain trays with a compost tea made from worm castings.

I think so many times we can be afraid to try something different from what we were taught or what we've heard is the proper way. Growing up my grandparent's garden was all till, miracle gro, space plants so cultivator can fit between, and so on. Now I plant everything pretty close and still have loads of successes among the few failures. I'm going to attempt grafting tomato plants this year!

Another myth, though you touched on it, is one tomato or pepper seedling per container. I'll start maybe 10 or 15 seeds in a 2-inch container. After they get their first set of true leaves, I'll separate them out. Saves so much space! I also stopped using seed starting mix which saves me money. Potting mix with a good dose of worm castings works great for me. Considering a lot of farmers sew right into the ground, why are home gardeners being taught to be so overly cautious!?

@@THiser-yq4vf, I get close to if not 100% germination on my tomatoes and peppers seeds planting them this way, and save the extra money by not using seed starting mix, and even more money by saving the seeds every year. Tomato and pepper seedlings (along with basil and many others) are very hearty and easily separate when they're started together. I grow in bulk, so when I'm planting 200 plus tomatoes and peppers (I sell my extra plants), I have had to learn to be economical on space and soil.

I only recently learned the power of having some compost/worm castings in your seed starting mix. HUGE (pun intended!) difference in size from those that were grown in a sterile mix. Plus, they need less fertilizer when they start geowing robustly!!! Win-win!!

Take a look at the seedlings that are sold in the big box stores and nurseries...those are usually ready to transplant - 6 or 8 leaves at least for tomatoes, peppers etc. Tiny seedlings really struggle to establish and also much more prone to pests eating them since they're so fragile. Does that help?

Another upside to the multiple seeds per cell is that you can select the fastest growing or best looking of the group to move upwards.

another banger of a video guys! Loved how Kevin addressed the sterilizing soil. It makes me so sad to see videos when they are microwaving the soil lol bc soil is supposed to be FULL of life. For instance, like Jacque’s trick of adding castings to his soil, that just adds a nice boost of soil fertility and is beneficial to the very diverse and complicated soil food web! If anyone is interested in knowing more about the ecosystem in our soils, I recommend the book called “Teaming With Microbes” by Jeff Lowenfels. Such a good read about the complexities of soil and how they interact with plants! Btw, this isn’t a promotion, I just really like soil science….its neat

We've been learning a lot about gardening from the Epic Gardening team! I am a teacher who has started the journey of getting clean food to our small community and my students love your channel! Thanks for helping make the tricks of the trade accessible to everyone! Ps: My students love the Kevin and Jacque Duo and call them the "Sprouts twins"

I also ran into problems using sterilized mix, whether store bought or sterilized myself using the oven. There's a lot of mold in the grow shelf environment since this is an older house, so it would always colonize the sterile soil and damage my seedlings. I decided to switch to homemade leaf mold and compost, to force the mold to compete with the native fungi and microbes, and I haven't had the same problem since. Sterilized mix is expensive, and when I tried to make it myself, it's a waste of electricity. It also smelled quite bad, since I accidentally overcooked it.

I start about 80% of my seeds indoors and for that I sterlize the growing medium - simply to help reduce the possibility of fungus gnats. But trust me, if I had a longer growing season to seed start outdoors - or could add a green house to my yard, I would skip all that. Fun vid - thank you.

I have to start sunflowers inside and transplant out because of bird pressure. They love to eat the newly sprouted sunflowers. After they are about 2 weeks old and a few inches tall I have been successful in transplanting them outside without much stress or stunting. Otherwise I get no sunflowers. Strangely though the sunflowers that come back on their own don't seem to be bird bait!

I have been planting so many seeds during the weeks of rain in San Diego. I miss being out in the garden so I may have gone a little overboard ! I really like the epic six cell and 4 cell packs as well as the strong trays. I don't have to worry anymore about carrying a tray of seedlings and having the tray buckle and the seedlings end up all over the ground. Thanks for making such a nice durable product!

The only time I've sterilized my soil I when I know it has pests in it and I'm bringing it inside, especially since my grow room is in my closet I really don't want any fungus gnats or anything in there.

Great tip about sieving potting mix. When I used pure seed starting mix I found it really hard to get the right fertilization after the seeds sprouted. I now use a mix of Espoma potting mix and Jiffy seed starting mix and I just pick the big pieces of wood out of the way -- sieving will be more efficient. I am sure that Promix or other good potting soil would work just as well -- Espoma was just what I happened to have. I have used Promix for my winter sowing with good results, and those seedlings get no supplemental anything. Also, don't despair if your tomato seedlings look terrible, they are remarkably tough plants like most vines. Mine turned purple and spindly last year due to lack of proper nutrients but once they were in the ground they took off and produced well.

I like to include neem cake (neem seed meal) and some micronized azomite in my seed starting mix, which is mostly coconut coir. Plus a bit of yucca extract and innoculant and perlite.

Great video, Kevin and Jaques One other myth seed heat mats are necessary. They help speed up germination, but they are not necessarily needed. I started using them for the first time, 20+ years this season, and honestly, I failed to take seedlings off quickly, and of course, they did not make it. Back to not using heat mats for me. 😅

This actually depends on the plant species. Some will not initiate germination until they hit a high enough temperature target (mostly applies to species that overwinter as a seed). These are plants that usually germinate in summer at 80+ degree surface temperatures.

I am using my own seed-starting mix for the first time 🤞. Seed starting mix never made sense to me for all the reasons mentioned here. If I can get my purchased inputs down to just a bit of perlite, I will be very happy. I made a blend of homemade compost, vermicast, and homemade biochar and let it charge over the winter. Can’t wait to see how it performs.

I didn’t know a whole lot about different soil types when I started to plant my basil and thyme seeds and they’re doing fine in the potting mix! Maybe a little slow now that they’re up, but it didn’t seem to hinder them. Maybe it helped that I checked on them every day to make sure seedlings weren’t getting covered by soil, but I basically just plopped it in dirt and waited

ProMix is my go to soil mix!

🌺Aloha Kevin/Jacque, I just love my white house (greenhouse) just like the two of you so many things growing. Started a lot of seeds, focusing on a lot of flowers this year. I still need to get into thinning out some seeds especially my carrots, but then again I grow mini ones. Have a great growing season. See you two in your next video.🤩

How I start seeds is, I use regular potting mix in a 4 in pot, sprinkle seeds on top, then cover them lightly with seed starting mix. This eliminates potting up into larger pots and the seeds can easily push up through the shallow layer of seed starting mix.

I add a little worm casting to Pro Mix. Yes, you may get a little algae which I think may be caused by worm castings but I’d like to know there is some food there if needed. Though I use to touch the soil for moisture I now just lift the tray or pot. I tended to over tend my seedlings and cause more damage than good.

Such a great quality video! Thanks, guys!

I put worm castings in my seed starting mix

Good video. I stopped using potting soil and just use compost.

I appreciate the tip about seed starting mix, but even that heavier soil is fine. You should do an experiment to prove it. In my experience with high quality seed, that heavy soil with chunks of wood barely inhibits seeds. I don't see a noticeable difference, even with lettuce and carrots.

Great video and good point. It's totally fine to be a little rough with your seedlings when you plant them. You can always cut back some of the leaves to compensate for the loss of roots. Have an abundant new season! :D

Great and informative video. I learned the root thing with transplanting a bunch of neglected iris rhizomes.

Nice to see the sterilisation myth addressed. This comes from hydroponic growing and totally misunderstands the principle of "the living soil."

It would be cool to see you guys start seedlings in different types of soils and see how they differ if you haven't made a video already

Great info. I had always been too lazy to ‘cook’ the soil in my oven. Just the thought of teeny tiny creatures in my oven just creeps me out. Besides like you said, eventually (and hopefully) the seedlings will need to survive and grow outside in ground.

I went through an post traumatic overwatering phase. Before I learned about soil hydrophobia, I would water not knowing that the soil was just running down the sides of my pot and not absorbing into my soil. Plants died and when I found out I said that’s never happening again, so I overcompensated by overwatering 😅

Thank you.. really helps me keep my ole' mind "in the game" ... I get to wade through much ignorance and thankful for you guys who are well versed and share... wish I could help back.

Yes, I water when there's no rain, and do a bit of weeding now and then but that's it. I do appreciate many of the tips y'all give.

Well I’m not putting up with gnats and aphids again this year. Over the years there has been a change in the potting soils. It doesn’t matter the price either. Never had bug problems until last year, above all aphids as we don’t have them outside either. Started some lettuce inside with what is supposed to be a great potting soil-gnats again! Threw them out. We have an old roasting pan and any soil coming back in the house will be baked outside first. The eggs are in compost and I think some process must be left out in creating the potting soils. Those plants will get all the beneficial stuff they need in a few weeks when they get transplanted. Not starting too soon either as there is no benefit. I think some will agree especially if they don’t have a greenhouse. I have one and may just wait closer to spring and heat it then. The bugs are still a problem either way though. This latest infestation I seen the larvae that was just about to turn into an adult-they are huge! They can eat a lot of roots! I have propagation trays also and I just can’t have that. I think I tried every mentioned natural process to rid the seedlings of those bugs last year and either they don’t work or just slightly controls them. It was horticultural oil at the hardening off phase that finally worked. This time I used insecticidal soap and that has worked, but it was on ornamentals only and prefer to not use it on food. Winter sowing would be another option for most vegetable seedlings except peppers and onions the rest will catch up in my area. Just mainly want the mess kept outside and plants to stay bug free.

I didn't make this video, but can offer this info: Finished compost is what is used. Some people make their own, some buy it already finished and ready to use. Potting mix is for potted plants, though some people use it for starting seeds. Seed starting mix is for starting seeds (some people make their own). Garden soil is for adding to the soil in the garden. The thing is, many people use different products in different ways, so it can be a bit confusing. Probably the best thing to do is to go to a garden center and discuss with them. They'll know what is proper for where you live, and what names are used there for different products. This is what I did when we moved from one zone to another. Hope you enjoy a wonderful garden for your efforts!
