I've already messed up three seed starts so far I'm on my fourth one but I'm watching your videos this time. The first one I didn't know you were supposed to put water in the peat moss before you planted the seeds the second time I had a high wind that blew all my plants together and just dumped them all out in the pile and the third time I was having over watering issues that rotted my seeds. Next year I'm going to be a boss at this because now I understand Frost dates lol
Thank you so much, Gary! We sterilized our soil last year for the first time, and what a difference it made! Really appreciate your "to the point" videos to help my husband and I homestead! Happy Holidays! :-)

I had to do the boiling water thing. Cause I planted seeds without “cooking” the soil and the fungus gnats were not just annoying but they killed my seedlings 😥 after cooking the soil I planted more seeds and I haven’t seen nor even one gnat. 👍👏👏👏

I’ve so enjoyed your videos because you really teach as well as show us. I have limited mobility but I want to grow a couple of tomato plants. I’ve just gotten my 10 gallon grow bags. I have potting mix. I only have a small cement patio. I live in Williamsburg Va. I’m thinking about a cherry tomato “Tiny Tim” And “Early Girl” tomato I’ve been feeding birds and squirrels. Would Marigolds planted around the grow pot help deter squirrels 🐿 or do I give up my dream of growing my own tomatoes? Thank You
Thanks so much as that is my goal. Principles you can build off. Tiny Tim as 12-18 inch plants so you can put 2 in a 10 gallon pot BTW. Early Girls is a good one. It wont stop squirrels but they actually dont eat my tomatoes.

Hi Gary, I have the wired shelving and purchased the exact LED lights from Walmart that you have. My concern is the heat produced from the lights where the circuit board is housed or whatever electrical setup is in the side contained area of the light. Is the amount of heat produced a concern for you? What indoor temperature are you growing in so that these circuits don't overheat or blowout? I had a fairly warm room that I was going to plant tomatoes and peppers with (2) lights per shelf and they got pretty hot just in an hour. I have a cooler room that I'm testing the light out and that one area still gets hot, but did have the light on all day. Thank you for all your wonderful informative videos. I have learned so much!

Your videos are what got me going with gardening, I have learned so much from your videos, thank you so much! In your opinion, should I be using a dome to cover the tray? Should I assume it is not essential or important to use it since I don't see you using or mentioning it.
So glad to inspire. I never use the domes. I found they make humidity for mold and fungus.

Where and what brand of fertilizer, the box stores either sell pump style small bottles or bottles that you hook up to a hose which I used diluted 4 to 1 with water being the 4 and burnt my plants after a couple of days
Hi Gary! Exciting to get things going again for another season. Seed start container question... what ‘recycle number’ are your cells and small start containers out of curiosity? Maybe I’m a bit over the top on this, but I picked up a few dozen of the 3” style plastic pots at our local dollar store... $1.50 or whatever for 15... to use for up-potting, possibly tomato starts, but certainly planned for Cukes/Zukes. I note they are labeled as ‘recycle 3’. I see that 1, 2, 4 & 5 (I think 2 preferred) are listed as the safest options on nearly or all sites. 3/6/7 are listed to generally avoid. So, a overreacting gardener here? I mean they won’t be in them past their start time before transplant or up-pot. However, just curious what most of yours may be or if you really are concerned? Thanks!

Absolutely love your channel Gary! Been following it as gospel - and very excited to start your hot pepper seeds!! One major concern I have though is that the humidity is only around 35% in and around the seed starts. Should I be using the humidity domes? I know you said not to - but does such a low humidity matter? I just started my seeds so don't have any germinated yet but will this low humidity affect them adversely once they germinate?
I never use the domes as I found they just breed fungus and mold. If you can keep your trays watered well for what every reason, maybe use the domes. Otherwise I dont use them. If the soil is damp, they should germinate just fine.

So does the boiling water kill the gnat larvae too? I brought home a plant and it was infested with gnats. I used different products that was supposed to kill the adults and then also kill the larvae. I was able to kill off the adult gnats but not the larvae.
It will but it can be used in soil with plants if that is what you mean.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thanks for you reply. So the boiling water will kill the adult gnats and the gnat larvae? You can put boiling water on soil that has plants living in it already or would that hurt the plant?

Love it! This kind of content keeps my spirits up midwinter. Question: I have leftover seeds in their respective packets, within ziplock bags in a rubbermaid container. They've been there since March in my garage. Will these be ok next season? Is it too little, too late to do the ol silica packets and refrigeration trick? Thank you in advance!
Most seeds stay viable for years. U may get less germination rate year after year so just start a couple extra. I have grown 10+ year old seeds successfully. If I remember correctly, that's for most seeds except onion seeds. Apparently they don't last very long. Hope that helps.

@@annieanderson6112 yes! Thank you. I should say I def do this year to year but always in the back of my mind I'm wondering if I'm diminishing the quality of the plant/the veggies themselves.
I would like to know your thoughts on a question..have you ever tried to crush pumpkin seeds and put them in the hole for tomatoes and peppers as a fertilizer..I know they are high in magnesium but will it decompose and make that nutrient available for the plant roots.
I dont see how that would be better than compost. If you could get them cheap in bulk, sure. But it seems expensive for limited benefit. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualified purchases.

Awesome video. Will definitely sterilize my mix from now on. What is your opinion about self watering seed trays with wicking mats? I have several but now wonder if they are not such a great idea. Also, what is your opinion about a light sprinkle of fine vermiculite over the surface of the mix?
I just dont think self watering is needed. A little vermiculite helps but it sometimes makes it hard to notice the lightening of the start mix. That the cue I use for watering Please visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden shop for your fabric pots, fall & spring seeds, seed starting supplies, peppermint oil, neem oil, TRG merchandise and more at www.therustedgarden.com Check out my new gardening PODCAST Gardening Coast2Coast at gardeningcoast2coast.net with CaliKim

Hi, Gary. I ordered the metal shelves and the lights from your amazon account. They arrived yesterday and as I put the metal shelves together I noticed they did not match the lighting length and your seed starter containers. I had to repackage them and send them back. Can you give me the length, width and depth of the metal shelves you are using so I can search for them on amazon? What you have suggested on your Amazon page is not correct. Thanks! 🙏😊
Sorry. Yea people buy and use different sizes. The lights vary but I use 4 foot lights on 4 foot shelves. I think the width vary 18 to 26 inches. Light come in 2 foot lengths too.

Can anyone tell me what zone he’s in? I’m looking for northern gardeners to follow as I’m in zone 4b. Most of the gardening channels are further south, which is great! I just am hoping to find someone whom I can follow who understands a short growing season.
Maryland Zone 7. You can still follow this based on your planting date/no frost and count back. I have several videos on timing.

Sitting water can take oxygen out of the starting mix due to over saturation and it can cause lots of algae growth. It's good to let the soil dry out between watering. However, in many cases the sitting water doesnt do damage. Just about a potential risk.

I see you keep your lights very low to the trays? I keep my light way higher and my seedlings are always leggy and yellow. Could this be my problem to why they are always leggy skinny and yellow?
Yep for legginess. Yellow too early on and then later, yellow often do to them needed some nitrogen.

I purchased a 2 Cubic Foot bag of Organic Potting Soil. When I got it home and opened the bag, it had mold on the top. Can I still use it? Or should I ‘sterilize’ it with boiling water? (It’s a pretty big bag). Thanks Gary! Learning so much!!!
You can still use it. I would use the boiling water but before that, let the sun hit if for a day or 2.

Good morning! I have a question about the sterile potting mix. You did say to let it sit for a few days and during that time the excess water evaporates. Can I leave that out on my porch uncovered or would insects lay eggs into it?
Keep it inside. You can use it after cools if you feel its not over saturated. I quicker way, if it is over saturated, is fill the cells the day before and they should be fine. With practice, you get the amount of water down and can use quickly Please visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden shop for your fabric pots, fall & spring seeds, seed starting supplies, peppermint oil, neem oil, TRG merchandise and more at www.therustedgarden.com Check out my new gardening PODCAST Gardening Coast2Coast at gardeningcoast2coast.net with CaliKim.

So i attempted to sterlize my soil. And instead of foil i covered it with a plastic bag and checked on it the next day. It smells terrible! Is it still good to use ?
It can happen but not sure what it smelled bad in just 24 hours. It does smell like damp dirt normally. Thanks & Please help support The Rusted Garden and the creation of more garden videos...

Well I sterilize my seed starting mix and set it aside to cool in a pot in a lid on it. And then something came up like I had to go have surgery. So it's been sitting about 3 weeks. And while I assume it's still sterile? It kind of smells bad. So I don't really know if I want it in my house. You think it's still be okay if I took the lid off at for a day or two and maybe some of the smell would dissipate?
Probably got moldy. Hope you heal well. I would start over.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you for your reply. I just bought the greenstalk towers, some seeds and the vermisterra worm castings. I have been watching your videos for a few years now and enjoy the walks through your garden. I have been paralyzed to start seeds only when it says I should by the moon. Husband says it is the only way. I was trying to look at your videos and see if they lined up with when it says to plant but was unable to get exact dates to do that. Thank you again and keep the content coming.
Is sterilizing necessary when you buy a starting /potting mix, or if you use peat in general? I bought peat, vermiculite and made my own compost to mix up (a la square foot gardening). Would I need to sterilize it if I use that mixture to start seeds? I did buy a kit for my kids to grow ornamental lettuce, strawberries and cucumbers and the starting mixture came with fungus gnat eggs which attacked and infested everything in the house :(.
I think for peat, indoors, it is worth doing all the time. Outdoors nope.

I moved my little seedlings from my window sill to under my shop light that is 3200 lumen 5000k and they stopped growing. Should I buy a light with higher lumen?
3200 should work. 5000L is a perfect amount. Do they need some nitrogen?

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thanks, Gary! I did give them a feed and that seems to have helped a little. I’ll keep an eye on them and will experiment with higher lumen if needed. Thank you for all the wonderful videos and tips!
So I sterilized my soil this last year and stirred it daily but it ended up molding before the week was up . How do I prevent this next time? I tried scrapping it off but ended up tossing it. Is there a way I could have saved it to use?
If it was green it is algae. It comes from the water and the light just lets it grow. letting the tops dry helps. It can also come from excess nitrogen.

I've been looking for a light with lumens in the 3-5k range but the closest I could find is 2100 for a 4FT T5 daylight LED... does lumens add up? if I get a housing for 2 tubes will it work?

Hi, I am starting a garden for the first time. I'm confused about the sterilization of my starter mix. I purchased Jiffy Natural & Organic Seed Sarting Mix, and it didn't state anything about having to do this. Is this still your recommendation? Also, I didn't see that you were using a heat mat fee germination. Is that needed before I can start?
Congrats on your first. year. Jiffy or anything won't address gnat eggs and I use it and it has carried gnat eggs. I pretty much say sterilize all your mixes for indoor use. Fungus gnats are no fun. I just did a video on worm castings. it is not a must but that is what I add in after it cools and all that. You dont need a heat mat if your temps are in the upper 60's. I do use a single mat for hot pepper germination to speed it up but it is not needed.

I've already messed up three seed starts so far I'm on my fourth one but I'm watching your videos this time. The first one I didn't know you were supposed to put water in the peat moss before you planted the seeds the second time I had a high wind that blew all my plants together and just dumped them all out in the pile and the third time I was having over watering issues that rotted my seeds. Next year I'm going to be a boss at this because now I understand Frost dates lol
Thank you so much, Gary! We sterilized our soil last year for the first time, and what a difference it made! Really appreciate your "to the point" videos to help my husband and I homestead! Happy Holidays! :-)
Glad to help. So much better to sterilize and have no issues with fungus gnats

I had to do the boiling water thing. Cause I planted seeds without “cooking” the soil and the fungus gnats were not just annoying but they killed my seedlings 😥 after cooking the soil I planted more seeds and I haven’t seen nor even one gnat. 👍👏👏👏
Fungus gnats are the worst

Hi Gary! What if you have gnats in the pots with plants/vegetables growing already. How do I kill those? Thanks! I always chuckle whenever you chuckle at yourself. I love it!🪴💚😆
Hey Gary, I have steam barrels if you want the specs on it 😂 growing mushrooms indoors you got to have sterile everything. Growing with you this year, got my greenhouse built before November planning is going to be quite the task. Much ❤️ & ✊🙏

I’ve so enjoyed your videos because you really teach as well as show us. I have limited mobility but I want to grow a couple of tomato plants. I’ve just gotten my 10 gallon grow bags. I have potting mix. I only have a small cement patio. I live in Williamsburg Va. I’m thinking about a cherry tomato “Tiny Tim” And “Early Girl” tomato
I’ve been feeding birds and squirrels. Would Marigolds planted around the grow pot help deter squirrels 🐿 or do I give up my dream of growing my own tomatoes? Thank You
Thanks so much as that is my goal. Principles you can build off. Tiny Tim as 12-18 inch plants so you can put 2 in a 10 gallon pot BTW. Early Girls is a good one. It wont stop squirrels but they actually dont eat my tomatoes.

Hi Gary, I have the wired shelving and purchased the exact LED lights from Walmart that you have. My concern is the heat produced from the lights where the circuit board is housed or whatever electrical setup is in the side contained area of the light. Is the amount of heat produced a concern for you? What indoor temperature are you growing in so that these circuits don't overheat or blowout? I had a fairly warm room that I was going to plant tomatoes and peppers with (2) lights per shelf and they got pretty hot just in an hour. I have a cooler room that I'm testing the light out and that one area still gets hot, but did have the light on all day. Thank you for all your wonderful informative videos. I have learned so much!
Can you talk about grow lights? I don’t have a setup where I can use the shop lights unfortunately.
Grow lights would be much different. They are just more expensive.

Your videos are what got me going with gardening, I have learned so much from your videos, thank you so much! In your opinion, should I be using a dome to cover the tray? Should I assume it is not essential or important to use it since I don't see you using or mentioning it.
So glad to inspire. I never use the domes. I found they make humidity for mold and fungus.

Where and what brand of fertilizer, the box stores either sell pump style small bottles or bottles that you hook up to a hose which I used diluted 4 to 1 with water being the 4 and burnt my plants after a couple of days
Hi Gary! Exciting to get things going again for another season. Seed start container question... what ‘recycle number’ are your cells and small start containers out of curiosity? Maybe I’m a bit over the top on this, but I picked up a few dozen of the 3” style plastic pots at our local dollar store... $1.50 or whatever for 15... to use for up-potting, possibly tomato starts, but certainly planned for Cukes/Zukes. I note they are labeled as ‘recycle 3’. I see that 1, 2, 4 & 5 (I think 2 preferred) are listed as the safest options on nearly or all sites. 3/6/7 are listed to generally avoid. So, a overreacting gardener here? I mean they won’t be in them past their start time before transplant or up-pot. However, just curious what most of yours may be or if you really are concerned? Thanks!
Can you email this to me. My brother has the shop managed and ill forward it to him. Sometimes the shipment of trays change due to shipping issues. therustedgarden@gmail.com

Absolutely love your channel Gary! Been following it as gospel - and very excited to start your hot pepper seeds!! One major concern I have though is that the humidity is only around 35% in and around the seed starts. Should I be using the humidity domes? I know you said not to - but does such a low humidity matter? I just started my seeds so don't have any germinated yet but will this low humidity affect them adversely once they germinate?
I never use the domes as I found they just breed fungus and mold. If you can keep your trays watered well for what every reason, maybe use the domes. Otherwise I dont use them. If the soil is damp, they should germinate just fine.

So does the boiling water kill the gnat larvae too? I brought home a plant and it was infested with gnats. I used different products that was supposed to kill the adults and then also kill the larvae. I was able to kill off the adult gnats but not the larvae.
It will but it can be used in soil with plants if that is what you mean.

Love it! This kind of content keeps my spirits up midwinter. Question: I have leftover seeds in their respective packets, within ziplock bags in a rubbermaid container. They've been there since March in my garage. Will these be ok next season? Is it too little, too late to do the ol silica packets and refrigeration trick? Thank you in advance!
Most seeds stay viable for years. U may get less germination rate year after year so just start a couple extra. I have grown 10+ year old seeds successfully. If I remember correctly, that's for most seeds except onion seeds. Apparently they don't last very long. Hope that helps.
They should be fine. You have time

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you Gary. Merry Christmas!
@@annieanderson6112 yes! Thank you. I should say I def do this year to year but always in the back of my mind I'm wondering if I'm diminishing the quality of the plant/the veggies themselves.
I would like to know your thoughts on a question..have you ever tried to crush pumpkin seeds and put them in the hole for tomatoes and peppers as a fertilizer..I know they are high in magnesium but will it decompose and make that nutrient available for the plant roots.
I dont see how that would be better than compost. If you could get them cheap in bulk, sure. But it seems expensive for limited benefit.

Awesome video. Will definitely sterilize my mix from now on.
What is your opinion about self watering seed trays with wicking mats? I have several but now wonder if they are not such a great idea.
Also, what is your opinion about a light sprinkle of fine vermiculite over the surface of the mix?
I just dont think self watering is needed. A little vermiculite helps but it sometimes makes it hard to notice the lightening of the start mix. That the cue I use for watering

Hi, Gary. I ordered the metal shelves and the lights from your amazon account. They arrived yesterday and as I put the metal shelves together I noticed they did not match the lighting length and your seed starter containers. I had to repackage them and send them back. Can you give me the length, width and depth of the metal shelves you are using so I can search for them on amazon? What you have suggested on your Amazon page is not correct. Thanks! 🙏😊
Sorry. Yea people buy and use different sizes. The lights vary but I use 4 foot lights on 4 foot shelves. I think the width vary 18 to 26 inches. Light come in 2 foot lengths too.

Do you not recommend putting tops on the trays to hold humidity and moisture in?
Missed this. I dont recommend it as it is just not needed. And it cause more fungal and mold growth than benefit IMO

Why do you have to dump the excess or unabsorbed water in the tray in the first week when the seeds haven’t germinated yet?
Sitting water can take oxygen out of the starting mix due to over saturation and it can cause lots of algae growth. It's good to let the soil dry out between watering. However, in many cases the sitting water doesnt do damage. Just about a potential risk.

Good morning! I have a question about the sterile potting mix. You did say to let it sit for a few days and during that time the excess water evaporates. Can I leave that out on my porch uncovered or would insects lay eggs into it?
Keep it inside. You can use it after cools if you feel its not over saturated. I quicker way, if it is over saturated, is fill the cells the day before and they should be fine. With practice, you get the amount of water down and can use quickly

It can happen but not sure what it smelled bad in just 24 hours. It does smell like damp dirt normally.

Well I sterilize my seed starting mix and set it aside to cool in a pot in a lid on it. And then something came up like I had to go have surgery. So it's been sitting about 3 weeks. And while I assume it's still sterile? It kind of smells bad. So I don't really know if I want it in my house. You think it's still be okay if I took the lid off at for a day or two and maybe some of the smell would dissipate?
Probably got moldy. Hope you heal well. I would start over. Use it for potting up when stuff goes outside

Thank you for your reply. I just bought the greenstalk towers, some seeds and the vermisterra worm castings. I have been watching your videos for a few years now and enjoy the walks through your garden. I have been paralyzed to start seeds only when it says I should by the moon. Husband says it is the only way. I was trying to look at your videos and see if they lined up with when it says to plant but was unable to get exact dates to do that. Thank you again and keep the content coming.
Glad to help and I never checked the moon in 30 years
Just bought your book
Is sterilizing necessary when you buy a starting /potting mix, or if you use peat in general? I bought peat, vermiculite and made my own compost to mix up (a la square foot gardening). Would I need to sterilize it if I use that mixture to start seeds? I did buy a kit for my kids to grow ornamental lettuce, strawberries and cucumbers and the starting mixture came with fungus gnat eggs which attacked and infested everything in the house :(.
I think for peat, indoors, it is worth doing all the time. Outdoors nope.

So I sterilized my soil this last year and stirred it daily but it ended up molding before the week was up . How do I prevent this next time? I tried scrapping it off but ended up tossing it. Is there a way I could have saved it to use?
If it was green it is algae. It comes from the water and the light just lets it grow. letting the tops dry helps. It can also come from excess nitrogen.

I've been looking for a light with lumens in the 3-5k range but the closest I could find is 2100 for a 4FT T5 daylight LED... does lumens add up? if I get a housing for 2 tubes will it work?
They arent additive. Walmart has them

Best way to sterilize soil is still in the oven!
That works

Hi, I am starting a garden for the first time. I'm confused about the sterilization of my starter mix. I purchased Jiffy Natural & Organic Seed Sarting Mix, and it didn't state anything about having to do this. Is this still your recommendation? Also, I didn't see that you were using a heat mat fee germination. Is that needed before I can start?
Congrats on your first. year. Jiffy or anything won't address gnat eggs and I use it and it has carried gnat eggs. I pretty much say sterilize all your mixes for indoor use. Fungus gnats are no fun. I just did a video on worm castings. it is not a must but that is what I add in after it cools and all that. You dont need a heat mat if your temps are in the upper 60's. I do use a single mat for hot pepper germination to speed it up but it is not needed.

@Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) thanks. I actually watch another one of your videos where someone asked the same question and got the answer. Thank you so much for responding so quickly!
