Rockwool, also known as mineral wool, is a versatile gardening substrate beloved by farmers worldwide. Gardeners appreciate rockwool for its excellent water retention, ensuring plants receive consistent hydration while allowing for proper drainage, crucial for root health.
Furthermore, rockwool's inert nature makes it resistant to mold, pests, and diseases, safeguarding plants against common gardening threats. Its lightweight and easily customizable form enable gardeners to tailor their growing environments efficiently, whether in hydroponic systems, container gardening, or traditional soil beds.
In summary, rockwool stands as a trusted ally for gardeners seeking a reliable, high-performance growing medium, promoting healthy plants and bountiful harvests. Don't let small things hold you back like not having vermiculite! And don't forget to grab your free seeding density PDF!

Congratulations
Hello, Michael! Really enjoyed the video! Thanks for the PDF! Have a Blessed day!!!👍🙏❤😊
Spinach used to be my biggest challenge. My trays looked like yours until I started to use cold stratification of a couple days in the fridge. Looking forward ti hear how you solve for your go to method on this crop over time. Nice content on this vid. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment and sharing your experience! I’ve heard of this and I’m going to look more into this. The other spinach did far better, I really thought that tray just wasn’t ventilated correctly.
Ok ok, I’ve subscribed to your channel. “Cold stratification” huh?
Couple days in the fridge then what?
Help…
Hey Mike, thanks for the video! For microgreens, wouldn't you use a higher density of seeds (than in your guide)? Thanks in advance!
@@devonhouse356 Hi Devon. Yes you would use far more seeds, however Microgreens are grown in a standard potting soil like pro mix. These Rockwool sheets are for transplanting into my hydroponic towers. I don’t have any content about how to grow Microgreens yet unfortunately! Thanks for the comment and any other questions happy to help.
I'm thinking of trying microgreens in the tower garden! How many seeds do you think I should try? 20? 40? 😂
@@devonhouse356 Lol you know some people have done it in the high density towers. And that’s probably about the right amount!
looks like you didn't plant them deep enough? Also, try soaking your seeds in water/hydrogen peroxide (3%) mix which will soften the outer shell and sterilize the seed, rinse the seeds, then put them in the rockwool.
Are you talking about the spinach? The other two trays did far better! Definitely open to looking into what you’ve shared, appreciate it. Someone else mentioned cold stratification too.
Hello, can I ask how to get the PDS for the recommended amount of seeds for starting? I have started my first batch and they all pretty much failed and getting ready to start the second would like to see if my seed amount in each Rockwall is accurate. Thank you so much.
Hey! So sorry to hear that, the free PDF can be found by clicking the link in the description. No info or email needed, just on Google drive. Hope you crush the next round! Any other questions please let me know.
Thank you for your advice. Yes, but you put only water or some other fertiliser into that ?
I'm using the nutrient water for my Tower Gardens, which uses a docetron to dose it. I'm sure it's a pretty standard mix, any nutrient fertilizer should help the lettuce take root and grow once it germinates!
If you don't have vermiculite, can you use dirt?
@@talktimewithcynthia5653 Yes; but it would need to be very fine dirt and I wouldn’t use much. Some don’t use vermiculite at all actually! Not necessary but should increase germination rates. Thanks for watching and the comment!
