    Great video! My local mom and pop nursery sells a lighter weight version of these trays for less than a buck each. I start all my seedlings in them b/c they make watering from the bottom so much easier and they hold up for years. So many haters in these comments it’s craaaaazzzzyyy. Thank you for the always dependable info!

    Most suppliers of hydroponics have clear plastic domes that are quite cheap. They usually have a closable vent that lets you control humidity inside. These let a lot more light reach the plants. they are perfectly sized to fit over a 11" x22" tray.
    I take a lot of cuttings to root in water. Many years ago, I bought a couple dozen four ounce glass jars with plastic lids for another purpose. I took the lids from about six of them and drilled a 5/8 inch hole in the center of the lid. When I want to root a cutting, I stick the stem down through the hole. The leaves cannot pass through the hole and stay above the water, where they belong. When the roots are about 3/4 inches long I transfer the cuttings to regular potting soil. I have been using this method for about fifteen years and have rooted African violet leaves, begonias, and many other plants.
    I have learned from fifty years of rinsing sand and gravel for aquariums is not to use a five gallon bucket to rinse sand. The stream of a hose is not strong enough to lift fine silt over the top of the bucket. You can rinse for hours and the water will still not run clear. Use a three gallon bucket or a large dishpan.
    Just a few tips for what they are worth.

    For a cheap plant light, Walmart sells a clamp-on goose neck lamp for about $9.00 with a socket for a medium base bulb. You can use any floodlight bulb . I find that a 5,000 Kelvin, 100 watt equivalent bulb gives the best result. You could use a 60 watt equivalent floodlight, but it would have to be a lot closer to the plants so it wouldn't cover as large an area.

      If you eat eggs- save your egg trays. Poke 2 or 3 pinholes with a hot pin or thin nail in each plastic cell. Set the bottom tray into the top half (it should fit near-perfect with still room for a little water.) Fill with your regular compost mix or what medium you prefer. Cover lightly with a cheesecloth. If you get your eggs in pressed cardboard containers, even better to cut them apart & bury the whole thing in the garden when they are big enough. Be careful of overwatering the cardboard ones though- you don't want them to fall apart before they go into the ground. (Once in the ground they dissolve pretty fast.) If you & your family save egg trays all year you will likely have more than enough by early Spring to reuse for years.

    Where do you put these trays once set up? I am assuming since the cuttings are covered they do not need light.

    My sweet basils that i planted last summer survived winter in LA and the stems are becoming woody. Should i pull it out and plant new ones or keep? Its been flowering since november

      When a basil plant bolts (flowers and goes to seed) it stops producing large leaves and is basically ready to throw in the compost. Basil is grown for the leaves and though bolted basil isn’t bitter like other bolted greens, it isn’t going to produce large deep green leaves anymore and you’ll get better produce from starting a new plant.

    • @doubleb2115
      @doubleb2115 4 года назад +1

      Any top will trap the humidity and basil at least roots so fast that light isn't necessary, the plants will be rooted and ready for transplant before the lack of light causes problems for the plants

      i like to use clear to keep an eye on things, and they seem to grow better. but no, you dont need the light to start roots with basil.

    • @MIgardener
      @MIgardener  4 года назад +1

      The cuttings don't need light until the root, and then you can leave them off because they don't need humidity after that.

      Use an old pillow case, scrap fabric in a colander or cheesecloth. It's easy! Just wait until the water runs clear. Have fun!

      I put a square of finely woven weed mat material in the colander first then put in the sand.The weed mat holds the sand in but lets the water flow through.

    • @PaleGhost69
      @PaleGhost69 4 года назад +3

      I use a bucket of water. Sand sinks but the rest floats. Mix it as you fill it with water then let it settle for a couple seconds. Drain off the top and add more water. After that, rinse and repeat (pun intended)
