the bloopers at the end are always enjoyable, thanks for being real
I'm so glad I watched it to the end. Thank you for the candid shots at the end. Love the bloopers 😂👍
Good points. I'm a huge fan of starting seedlings for the same reasons.
Another benefit of transplanting is the succession of time. If it is costlier to transplant starts into your beds (and it is) than direct seeding, you also have the opportunity cost of a seeded bed just sitting there...waiting to germinate....waiting to grow....then be thinned...then finally catch up to where the starters would be. If you want to succession garden with 4, 5 or even 6 crops in a bed in a single year, often that is impossible with seeds and the time they take to get going. Food for thought!
yep, he did mention that. For lettuce, you save 2-3 weeks of bed space by transplanting. Really, some things like lettuce are so predictable in their timing that it is easy to plan ahead. I plant mine in trays the same day I get my first cut from a bed. Then when the seedlings are 3 weeks old, you get your second cut from the bed and pull them and put the new seedling in.
Man the bloopers are a whole new aspect. Thanks. First time veiwer.
Thanks Josh! Good information. The look on your face after you make a mistake is priceless! LOL
Thank you so much for everything you share, including the bloopers! I've been trying to get the hang of making my own videos and I feel like I'm a mess doing it! It's nice to see that others have similar struggles getting out the words you're looking for
That's what editing is for!
air conditioned garage. When I hear things like that I'm glad I relocated to Colorado from Tennessee. Although our growing season sucks. But I do have a big hoophouse.
Very impressive.. that hat matches your shirt perfectly. Well done!
Like always great vid bro! Common sense and logic is the number one required skill for farming..some crops must always be direct regardless of variables!
i hope that your seeds sprout going well.
Liked for the blooper reel, thanks for your videos and modesty. Inspiring, got a new subscriber. Please keep sharing!
Welcome! Glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching!
Loving the bloopers!
Multisown beets thinned to 5 max works well for me, Good vid 👍🏻
I love the bloopers at the end, make me laugh each time, lol !!
As always, a great video! I would love to see you speak about pest control. One thing we have had a hard time with in our beds is controlling the bug population organically. We have used Diatomaceous Earth, but that gets expensive and can be a challenge to apply. Happy farming!
That is something that I am continually working on. I am not ready to make a video about that yet.
Another great video. Ty
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Hi Josh love watching everything you do your a real inspiration keep up the good work nice video Stuart from Liverpool ...
I'm so glad you have been enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching!
In case you don't look back at comments on older videos....
I just watched disappearing compost with Jesse.
This is what I added...…..
NE GA here - Our clay is so compact it's used for baseball mounds all over the country.
Mark at I AM ORGANIC GARDENING has great, scientific videos about the challenges of growing on clay base. It's like planting on a cement driveway.... Deep roots are the answer.
The other challenge is level terrain. Without drainage - Any rain will cause some ponding. Heavy sand/clay will settle. Organic matter will float then wash away. A little - or a lot at a time.
KJ
Yes, I see any new comment. It's been tough to keep up, but I am doing my best.
Great vid, and lovely plot, keep up the good work, and wow 36,000 subs, and tips for getting subscribers lol
Great info. Thanks.
New sub and love content and the fun of shooting a video ha bloopers rock
I love transplanting bc the slugs can't get to my trays. It is THE ONLY way I can plant brussels. Yes, hardening off from day one bc I start my seedlings outside. I even take the heat mat outside on the deck if necessary for early starts of watermelons. I don't need any lights and i use Root Riot and Rock Wool to plant into. The Jang is nice BUT I ONLY use the handheld hopper part of it bc we have Apalachin Mtn range hills in Pittsburgh, PA and my soil is not perfect. I don't take a chance on direct seeding anything anymore. Chard seeds did lay on the ground and germinate the next year. Turnips did well w/ my Jang the slugs did not bother those seeds.
How early in the season are you starting seedlings for transplant outside with the heat mat? I think I live in a similar climate...
@@jamesallen5223 I started my new Johnny seedlings May 1st. I put them all on the deck floor near the electric outlet. Florenza Sunflower was the first to germinate in my soil. I use Root Riot and Rockwool mostly now. My record keeping has improved. I use Pages to keep my daily/monthly records. I planted Mini Love Watermelon and I have one watermelon and lots of yellow flowers. I started w/ (15) seeds. I did not label where I planted them, smh. I found (1) of the unlabeled. I planted some in the shade, smh. I now have Kincaidplantplantmarkers.com. I love these they are stainless steel and come in varying lengths. I got 20" the tallest. I had Gardenmates from Amazon and I still use them for the more Public parts of my garden where people walk by and I do not have a fence. Kincaid are so nice that ppl would be inclined to steal them.
Right on Portia. I'm a huge transplant fan and VERY few of my plantings are direct seed anymore. All my cauliflower and brocco's are started in cells first and then either transplanted, or moved on to 4" pots waiting for the bed to be ready. It is so easy and you have so much better control over your crops that way!
@@jamesallen5223 Depends on where you are and what variety of plant you're doing. For me in Victoria, BC (Canada), I start all my peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, canteloupes, watermelons, zucchinis, and other transplants mid January in my grow shed. They are babied for about 2 months and get moved on to the unheated greenhouse around mid-March. There, the trays slowly get replanted to 4" pots and depending on what the weather is doing, I have put tomatoes out April 1st, easily. Peppers, a few weeks later. So it really depends on where you are, what you are growing, and what the weather is doing that year!
Really good videos. I never feel like I have wasted any time watching your presentations. I would appreciate knowing how long it takes to do specific tasks like turning over a bed, planting 6 flats of microgreens and harvesting the microgreens. I think that Richard Perkins uses time motion studies for EVERYTHING.
Also, it would be beneficial for me to see a process thru to completion. Like after the cutting of the microgreens the recycling of the soil mixture. Very informative and well done.
Thank you. I don't have tasks timed out. Bed flips vary a lot for me depending on which crop is coming out. Here is a video about my bed flips
ruclips.net/video/sN-JCyM0HZs/видео.html
When I am done with the microgreens flats they get put in the compost. Not much to it. I have a lot of videos on microgreens. Check them out

good info thanks, I transplant beets and peas for me it seams to work better
Most pelletized seed is primed. This starts the germ cycle then shuts it down. Primed seed will germinate faster in the tray. But, raw seed can be saved longer and is less expensive.
Your video edits are getting really good. Do you follow any RUclipsrs on how to make better edits?
Hey Josh, I see that you have many rows of greens and similar crops growing in the mid summer heat. Would you consider doing a video about which crops you grow throughout the summer? People know the obvious ones; tomatoes, eggplant, pepper, cucumber, beans, okra, melons, squash, etc. But many people aren't familiar with crops that will tolerate intense summer sun and heat. Thanks, love the channel.
I am still working on figuring out the best heat tolerant crops. I'm not ready to make a video about that yet.
direct seed ALL DAY! osborne frilly mix is just like salanova or easy leaf
are your seed tray flat 200 cells? where do you get them from and do they come with plant poppers.
Another awesome vid Josh! Hey what's your take on pelletized seed ,compared to non pelletized? Thanks again man!
I love pelleted seed! Have you ever tried planting non-pelleted lettuce seed? They are so small! I have trouble manipulating the tiny seeds. I get close to 100% germination with my pelleted lettuce seed.
Nice
👍
Josh, love your videos! Could you tell me what camera you use? I am in the market for a new one & your quality looks great!
Thank you. I am shooting on a Canon EOS 80D.
Josh Sattin many thanks! Keep up the great work. 👍
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Watch out for those birds! 🤣
😎
I recently stumbled upon your channel and have been watching your videos starting from the earliest and progressing forward. I'm curious if you have considered pursuing hydroponics or maybe even aquaponics and why if you chose not to? Thank you
I am personally not interested in hydroponics or aquaponics for my context. I have soil to grow vegetables in.
Question for you: how many salanova heads do you get per pound? i've heard 10 during the summer, 6 during the spring/pound is what you should get. i am not there yet but i just ordered the compost you recommended (we're 45min north of you) so if you're getting high yields like curtis stone, i have hope! :)
I don't grow Salanova. Check out this video to see about my lettuces ruclips.net/video/Ihp3LaQfZgo/видео.html
On average I get 1# per foot on my 30" bed. That is 4 rows spaced at 6 inches. I get more in the fall, winter and spring since I can get several cuts. Usually one cut in the summer.
@@JoshSattinFarming i didnt know multiple cuts 'counted'! haha i thought it was just the first cut that 'counts'. i'm doing better than i thought :) i plant one salanova, a few romaine, and a few leaf lettuces.
Do you have a video on lighting to use for seedlings? I'd like to start transplanting, but I have no idea what kind of lights to get. Type of lights, height and duration seems too confusing for me.
T-8 fluorescent work well, 6500K bulbs. Hang them about 1-2 inches above the plants. I use 16 hours on and 8 off for all my transplants (mostly tomato and pepper)
Check out these videos:
ruclips.net/video/Ihp3LaQfZgo/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/dudA6Dwt5QY/видео.html
Yep, what Randall said. If you're not seeding in a greenhouse where you don't actually need supplemental lighting, you can use fluorescents hung about 2-3 inches above the plants with a photoperiod of about 14-16 hours.
What are the white particles in the soil?
Perlite
What crops do you always seed vs transplant?
Nice hat.
Best tools for small time farmers or a family garden check out Hoss Tools channel and seeds that are pretty much 100% germination you should definitely hit them up because they give away a lot of products to RUclips channels that use their tools.
They do have some cool tools and they actually recently reached out to me. I looked through their website and couldn't really find any tools that might help me. I try my best to keep things minimal here. I should look through their seeds too.
Nice work! If you say paper pot enough will they give ya one?!
Oh, I wish! If that was the case, I would have mentioned it several more times! Haha. I feel like I had to mention it because the Paperpot always comes up when discussing transplanting. As soon you discuss the time/energy of transplanting people always want to talk about it.
@@JoshSattinFarming yep, it's a nifty gadget, out of my price range for a while, but nonetheless cool.
Where do you get your seed?

Instead of press every cell by hand, use another tray!
Transplanting is better when dealing with more expensive hybrid seeds
i need some new technic ,can i . iam from nepal .
Do you have a link to those growing trays? Please. Peace and
They sell them on amazon, $52.99 for the 128 cell trays (10) and $28.99 for the 72 cell trays (5). But it would be nice if he had links to get credit like with his other links. : )
Thanks for thinking of me and the affiliate links. If you click on any of my Amazon links and then buy something I will still get credit for those purchases.
I bought most of my trays from Second Sun Garden Supply, but they went out of business. I'll be on the hunt for new trays soon though.
@@JoshSattinFarming - Oh yeah I forgot about that. I remember now, if you click on someone's affiliate link, anytime after that when you go to another Amazon product and buy it, that person gets credit.
@@annwithaplan9766 Yes, I believe that's the case as long as you order something within 24 hours after clicking on someone's affiliate link.
Try transplanting carrots. Lol. :-D
A small adition to cons of direct seeding: ants! They make me mad all the time I am seeding
Try more mulch or starting other seeds plants of flowers ect that aren’t as important. Also granular ant baits work well they will kill the colony unlike sprays many will take care of a wide variety of ants but check the labels for specific kinds of ants it works for. Also ants like two different types of food different times throughout the yr some times protein and sometimes sweet if you have ever noticed them going after say dog food sometimes and not bother it any other time this is why. I’ve had terrible ant issues and have finally gotten to were they do there thing and let me do mine. There survivors and aren’t going anywhere considering how long they have been on earth and how much we have tried to get rid of them. Cheers
What kinda soil is that
