I'll give it a try as I have them at home 🙂

Good tip. I will try it in my terrace garden. Thank you. Your new subscriber.

Was there suppose to be plain soil in bottom of cup too? Im starting to get mold in bottom openings, Because I placed mixture in before seedling, then topped off. Is it too late to fix?

Oatmeal cookies...?? I think there called oats!. Steel cut, rolled, fake/instant. What have ye. An dont really want to bury them too deep. If your babies overstretched an got tall n skinny theres a reason. Need to adjust your lighting, etc so they dont "reach" so much. Thanks for the content! 😊

I tried this as the video explained i. Mixed the oats in and then topped dressed the pot with potting soil no oatmeal and I still ended up with mold on all my seedlings.

Make sure to put a fan in there with your seedlings and water from the bottom not, the top. If the mold is already present, use a Q-TIP and scrape it off. With the grow lights, fan and bottom up watering, you should keep it under control.

Seaweed fertiliser also has these micro ingredients.

Kauf dir Pflanzen Lampen. Tomaten usw brauchen viel Licht. Ich hab im Februar angefangen mit Lampen und habe über 40 Pflanzen raus. Vielleicht 5Pflanzen Verluste der Rest kam alles. Und diese Klebeschilder gegen Trauermücken die die Jungpflanzen attackieren. Letztes Jahr hatte ich die beiden Sachen nicht und viel mehr Verluste. Ich warte auch immer das meine Pflanzen mehr als 5 Blätter haben und größer sind bevor ich die umtopfe. Am besten in Pflanzerde und mit Dünger. Tomaten oder Gemüse Dünger ist egal. Ich hab dieses Jahr zb keine Erde gebraucht sondern gleich im Ziegenmist der 2 Jahre lag angebaut und die wachsen wie verrückt. 🤣 Ist auch nicht wahr das Tomaten und Gurken sich nicht vertragen. Meine Kastengurken wurden eher von den Tomaten beschützt vor den Schnecken.

Oatmeal is, as you say, organic matter but it’s not fertiliser. You can say the same about the nutrition of most plant foodstuffs. It would be better to mix the oatmeal with the soil in advance to let it break down - composting!

@@eastcoast4233 "I think my point was that’s what compost is for " Yes and no. With compost there is no way to know EXACTLY what elements are going to be available to the plants after bacteria/worms/etc... break it down. It's going to depend on what you composted. In this video he showed the breakdown for the elements that are going to be made available from the blended, rolled oats. By using rolled oats, you are getting some minerals available almost immediately since you grind them into a near powder. You can also mix it into the soil. However you will still need the process of bacteria consuming some of the oatmeal to make other elements available. Now, for what you said, that's a LONG process, not really suitable for seedlings. You don't mix compost into soil for the most part because things can go wrong. You put compost on the top of the soil, and then bacteria, fungus, worms, etc.... will consume, break down, bring some of that material down into the soil and make different elements available to plants. This is for a garden bed, and you can also do it for potted plants with will be in the pot for a few months or longer, in which case you can keep adding compost as needed. HOWEVER, compost does not guarantee that any specific plant will have the nutrients it needs. And this means for people who really care, like organic/regenerative farmers who make a living off of their crops, they do soil testing and they tend to have to add different things into the soil, of course things that are certified for organic farming, to get the correct elements into the soil, mostly minerals. In other words, you're basically incorrect and AG has a very valid method for getting minerals to seedlings, and in this case minerals that will benefit the very thing he's talking about in the video. If you want to see how a professional regenerative/organic farmer deals with getting seed into seedlings, you can watch no-till growers cover this topic. I don't ever remember him using compost with seedlings, although he does use compost teas to get good bacteria and other small organisms into the soil that the seedlings are growing in. He usually transplants straight into his beds for most crops and he also uses bigger soil balls for starting seedlings. So, if you were to mention compost teas instead of compost I think you'd have a more valid point.

People were payed good wages to clean beaches of sea weed bloom. Last year . Man what a waste dried and compact baled is $$. I know green houses that use this in there nutrient reservoir to start and sell beautifully plotted plants loaded with minerals

Anyone can put anything on. We should see the results too before following any tips!!

I think ill just stick with powdered seaweed, its far more potent , contains a much wider range of micro/macro ingredients and also encourages germination.

@@hyacinthABC Alittle more info from a website. Add to cart SKU: KEM. Categories: Amendments, Indoor Organics, Mix-Your-Own, Nutrition. Kelp Meal Kelp Meal is an awesome tool in an organic gardeners tool kit because it provides so many benefits. It is a species of seaweed collected from the cold clean waters of the North Sea and North Atlantic called Ascophyllum Nodosum, commonly known as Norwegian Kelp, or Brown Kelp. It grows in the sea but is not technically a plant and does not have a root system so instead must gets all of it’s mineral nutrition from the sea water. The good thing is the ocean contains all the minerals on the periodic table and Kelp is therefore able to easily acquire everything it needs, promoting fast growth of up to 1m per day. It is able develop strong systems that show as high levels of natural hormones and amino acids, it has all the vitamins and minerals it needs, enzymatic activity is maximised and can reach lengths of up to 100m. As an organic gardener we are always looking for ways to improve the health of our soils and in turn our plants. Kelp has been proven to offer many benefits, not just nutritional, but also in the way it helps to develop microbial life and drive the lesser known functions orchestrated by hormones and enzymes. Kelp covers all minerals and trace elements, but is especially abundant in some of the key plant nutrients like Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sulphur and good levels of Zinc, Copper, Phosphorus. Of course, being that it is sourced from the sea, it does also contain moderate levels of Sodium so this is why we don’t use too much - natures way of maintaining sustainability! As well as offering mineral nutrition, Kelp stimulates root development and encourages plants to grow more extensive root systems. This means we can expect to see increase plant vigour and vitality, higher yields and more resistance to stress. It also helps to build greater resistance to diseases and pests by helping the plant boost it’s own natural defences. Many growers also swear by Kelp when germinating seeds, as it helps young plants get established much quicker. Of course, one of the reasons why Living Soil works is the life within it, and Kelp also promotes the growth of soil life. Kelp also contains good levels of natural hormones such as Cytokinins, Indoles, Auxins and Gibberellins for assisting the mobility of essential nutrients, promoting cell development and elongation and result in bigger stronger plants, that grow faster and produce bigger yields. Many products on the market try to isolate one of these individual hormones to market as magic potions but why bother when you can have it all in one? Directions for use: When making a new soil blend, adding 1-2 cups of Kelp Meal per 50L of final mix works wonders, but can also be applied to existing soil or other mediums but just top dressing and watering in. A light dusting on the surface every few weeks will allow the goodness to make its way in over time, delivering a gentle but highly beneficial tonic for the soil and plants. Kelp Meal can be used as a soil drench and foliar spray by steeping 1 tablespoon per L water for 12 hrs

In the US, you want to buy the 5 minute or old fashioned oatmeal, not the instant or 1 minute oatmeal (quick oats). I had a problem understanding what he meant too until he made the comment to you. However I was able to look at the image and I could tell those are old fashioned oats or close enough. The difference for the most part is how thick they are cut and processed at a food processing plant, but thin cuts means the flakes have a lot more exposure to the air and that means they lose nutritional value and then what will happen is a company adds chemicals to add vitamins/minerals back into the flakes. This is what you don't want. So, old fashioned or 5 minute oats. In either case those are rolled oats. I just checked Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oats and they are simply rolled oats with nothing added. No need to go to anything more coarse such as steel cut oats, and they'd be harder on a small food blender.

Most additives mentioned here is better once you have put the plant into a bed, or put it in it's final pot. That's not what this video is about. It's about getting seedlings off to a good start and that's a different process than getting a plant from seedling into a healthy, productive plant. The safest way to deal with food waste is to compost it, then put the compost on top of the soil around the plants. You can also dig a small area up, not where the roots of the plant will get to, and bury SOME food waste, not very much and in this way you can use banana peels which is better than powdered banana skins. Once bacteria, worms, etc... break it down, organisms will start to distribute nutrients into the surrounding soil. And as far as the comment about air drying, that's not really any different than drying them in an oven. It's not like heat from an oven is "unnatural" I mean that's kind of a silly thought. It's still air and heat. But either way that plant material will lose some of its value in the drying process so composting is better

Sorry for my confusing, you are talking about 2 ingredients? I can see that there is only one ingredient (oats). And what's the ratio?

He said 1 teaspoonful per cup of soil.

I still think even though the nutrians are good for your plants, who should do this with your compost instead. This gives it time to properly break down into the soil and decreases your chances to get mold. Yeast would be another way to improve your compost. Never had issues with my compost and my plants grow like crazy with it.

If Quaker then prolly gmo

I've seen people's reactions here that it did not work for them. Oh well.
