I am getting my first seed tray started today. I discovered that apparently not all seed trays are the same. The plastic containers that sit down in the larger tray of what I bought are quite a bit smaller than the planting pellets I bought. I discarded the plastic containers and just used the larger tray and put the pellets in it. I guess we will see how well this works. Thanks for your video.
I have never watched one of your videos before and I am less then 2 minutes into this one and I am already absolutely loving your personality! Clicking the subscribe button before I resume the rest of this video. Thanks!
I should be videotaping me doing my little garden for the first time from your video. I’m a city girl from Detroit trying to do a farming gig in my kitchen lol
me and my wife also start our small garden plants indoors a month-and-a-half before planting season here in South Carolina we start tomato plants big boys cherry tomatoes and beefsteak tomatoes we also start red yellow and green bell peppers in the indoor planters you're doing a great job Josh keep up the good videos we really enjoy watching them..
Since he is a farmer, I'm guessing he has well water, not city water which is chlorine treated. I think he realised this halfway through his discussion lol. So for him, and any others in the country, well water should be fine if it's drinkable, but city dwellers would do best with distilled water.
@@rubylady7126 Not all city water uses chlorine. My local water is disinfected with chloramine which is safe for plants, seeds, and clones most of the time, or can easily be removed by boiling. I wrote a boring textbook of a comment with more information on the chemical and the process of purifying it elsewhere in this comment section because I don't think it's common knowledge that chloramine is used in many modern city water supplies. Not too long ago, the assumption that all public water supplies have chlorine would have been a safe bet. I just hope the information helps someone! Running out to buy distilled water isn't as easy of an alternative for me as I'm sure it isn't so easy for a lot of people who deal with transportation problems or disabilities such as myself (I'm not that old, but I have Gout and RA so getting around is very challenging for me). Aside from the chlorine issue, this is a fantastic video for help using these little peat pellets! I love Jiffy, myself.
@@rubylady7126 holy shit, I just moved into the country, always been in town. I started a big garden for my first garden and didn't think about the fact my well water is different than city water. Thanks for the much appreciated comment on this video lol. Much love from Nebraska ✌❤😊
If i want more seeds planted, i usualy pole 3 holes around the jiffy and 1 in a middle, make 4 plants, i can always split the jiffy when replanting... good advice, works well
I grew up with a farmers almanac in my home, and yes planting with the moon is key, my mother always planted with the moon. she always said 'the moon governs the earth.' She even clip our hair according to the moon.😀
Stoney Ridge Farmer Of course I did subscribe. I also tried following your method to plant seedlings using the jiffy.. lolololol I look forward to see what will happen.
For better result on seed in packets. They to need be rehydrated Add a 1 table spoon Hydrogen peroxide to 1 cup of distilled water.Soak about 20 mins. You will have to fish out them. I plant 3 seed per pod. Add half & half 1 pt peroxide to 1pt warm distilled water and soak your pods .For a gallon just double it.
Lmbo!!!! This is a very fun and informative video! I do have question...have you ever planted morning glory seeds in the Jiffy greenhouse? If so I was wondering how many seads do you put in each one Or how many seats would you recommend putting in each one because morning glory seeds are a little bit bigger
I know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I love any tips you can give me
@Ernest Casey Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
starting seeds outdoors...its last week in April San Diego..50s nights 60s to 70s days.... The advice I got from the garden center was to open the top days, water once a day...then they agreed with me to close the cover nights and cover with a folded over blanket... the cover fogs over during the day if I don't take it off!!
You a funny fella! Good video I got me some of the jiffy peat pellets in a little greenhouse kit and now I know how to use 'em the right way. Thanks!👍👌😎😁😁
Hi, This is the most interesting gardening video I had ever seen till date. I like the way you did the video with lots of fun. Hope to see more videos. Thank you. "SUBSCRIBED".
Love your video! Will look for more! You are entertaining and educational. A good mix and I have a background in video production so I’m critical!😊 Thanks again!
Thank you. Very thorough ☺. Most people don't share the knowledge. I have a pencil sharpener, but that's because I'm back in school ☺. New to your channel and I just subscribe thank you. My family and I became vegans and fruits and herbs is a major part of our diet. I'm getting tired of buying fruits and herbs when i can grow it ☺
This is my fave part. I absolutely love the jiffy greenhouse kits. However I struggle after this step. My herbs and flowers grow great in the greenhouse but once I remove they usually die. Any advice? I’m pretty sure overwatering is partially the cause. What other advice do you have for the next steps after sprouting?
sprout...let them grow...transplant to a larger container like dixie cup...let them grow and go easy on that water for sure. Get yourself a soil moisture meter like this one from my amazon page: amzn.to/3RVSaab
This video got me to subscribe. He reminds me of Will Forte! Definitely looking for fun but educational gardening videos. This popped right up when searching on Google. Cant wait to see more!
I bought this kit to germinate a lot of American sycamore seeds. Do you think it'll work for that as well? I've never used this kit nor have I ever germinated American sycamore seeds.
You can build your own hot beds from your loam that you have mixed up from the recycle material that you purchased.... You garden is kind small now... wait until you have teens eating you out of house and garden....just think that you have to plant 100 to 150 green bean plants and 75 to 100 tomato plants etc. your truck garden is from the road to the house......
Do you have issues with the netting around the peat not disintegrating? I have never tried them, but that is one of their cons people list. Other than that I am ready to try these!!
it doesn't break down right away...but over a season or two in the garden they break down...not an issue at all...pull them up in fall and put them in the compost heap👍
This is off the subject, but it looks like you have the same kitchen cabinets as me. Lol. All seriousness, thanks for the video. Starting some seeds today for my first RDWC grow. Very nervous.
I'm needing info about the outside temp for starting seeds. I'm in Tulsa, OK and we're in agricultural zone 7a-7b. The nights are still quite coolish. I'm afraid to start my seed plugs now because of the cold night temperature. I don't have a grow light. Don't have a heating mat for the seed trays. Can you give me some guidance about how to proceed? Like, wait until day temps are in the low 70's and the night temps are 60-ish. I don't want to get started wrong. Thanks for your help.
Guys, it's ok if you guys use tap water. It just wont grow as large and will have less leaves. Don't use salt water! If you dont wanna get distilled water just get a bucket, leave it outside and let ot rain. And tale that rain water and ta dah ur welcome
lol so i panic bough this the other day due to trying to grow a garden for the first time in my life ( stock up on food) got home and was like wait how the hell do i start this.. i dint even buy seeds thinking it was a kit that came with seeds and everything lmao. so here i am researching on what the heck did i just buy
I bought my house with a small sun room but have no idea how to utilize it in the winter. Can I grow things using this system in my unheated sun room, in February, like you? I'd love to start sowing seeds much earlier than before where I'd wait for the last frost to begin. I now have 4 big window boxes I have to fill with flowers and realized, once I got them that they are huge and will be extremely expensive to fill unless I learn to grow my own flowers. Any tips would be GREAT! Oh and do you just plant that whole pod in the ground and how do you know when to put it in the ground? Thanks for any and all advice!
Nope...water once...when they sprout..uncover them and dont water until they start getting light brown..overwatering is what starts fungus growing...place in a well ventilated area. I have a newer video done this year that's a little more informative
Thankyou for this! Who would of thought using these would be complicated lol. I have a really stupid question though - do you cover the seed up with a bit of soil once it's placed in the hole? Or do you leave it exposed in the hole?
LOL Your crazy, but very entertaining.. I am wanting to use mine to start my kale, spinach, and chives.. Our last frost is usually around May 9th, so I need to back up 8-10 wks from there.
Wow! Great video. My 7 year old and I just planted a tray full of grape tomatoes, peppers and flowers. Thanks so much!!
That is awesome!
FINALLY a fellow North Carolinian who can help me get this process started! God Bless you sir!

Butterfly weed are early bloom and will die off in July. But will come back next year. It is the first of my flowers to show.

Hi.... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Ready to start my pucks today...thanks!!!!!
Loved this video! Best of luck to your channel!
I was I need of this exact video thanks for your helpful video
You are very welcome...there was a need on youtube for sure...nobody made it fun!
Thanks dude. I got those little dirt things and was t sure what to do with it. 😋
Boiling tap water first releases what little chlorine is in the tap water (chlorine is a gas), and sanitizes the peat pucks.
The useful info is 1 minute. Thanks for it!
Sorry you were too busy watching youtube to watch youtube...lol

Thanks Douglas
4 minutes I was watching this til I realised he isn’t germinating weed
dont matter weed or no weed.. all seeds germinate the same way..
This method works very well for mile high seeds. I had to cull my garden to remain within legal limits. So sad to kill them.
😃
You just saved me 4mins👍

Those are sum kinda farmers hands there buddy. Just saying enjoy the Farm Live there farmer
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and information. Cheers
Yes sir...you are very welcome
Can you do carrot seeds in jiffy peat pellets or in a medium size planter ?
I'd just plant them in your raised bed or garden
Thankyou for this! Who would of thought using these would be complicated lol.
I have a really stupid question though - do you cover the seed up with a bit of soil once it's placed in the hole? Or do you leave it exposed in the hole?
Push some of the "peat" you moved over to plant the seed back on top of the hole. 😊
First time planter here. I have a question about adding more than one type of veggie plant in thr same greenhouse kit. Is that ok?
Good video.
We require half gallon hot water (100-110 degree) for 72 peat pellets. Is it correct?
What type if water require?
Thank you for this!!! 🌱🌱🌱
You're so welcome!
Stoney Ridge Farmer ~ yeah, totally inspired to finally have a garden!!! 🌱🌱🌱
wonderful video thank you so much
Excellent and very informative video. After the 2/3 week incubation period, are the seedlings ready to planted outside?
You have great character. A farmer Jim Carrey type. Thanks for sharing your ever so helpful tips.
Here’s a tip if you guys can’t get distilled water just leave tap water in the sun for a couple of days and the chlorine evaporates out of the water
LOL Your crazy, but very entertaining.. I am wanting to use mine to start my kale, spinach, and chives.. Our last frost is usually around May 9th, so I need to back up 8-10 wks from there.
