Most of you are aware I grew up in the greenhouse business our family has owned for 4 generations . We still are a greenhouse family to this day. I’ve shared this before but I’m sharing it again for beginner seed starters because generations of experience has taught many lessons. 1- Do not use the brown paper recycled pots of doom. 2- Add cinnamon to your seed starting mix. 1 cup of cinnamon per 20# of soil and then more sprinkled a top it. This will aid to prevent damping off and is actually a rooting hormone as well. 3- Use seed starting mix not potting soil and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. It does matter. 4- Use heat mats w a thermostat set at 73-75° for most seeds . They’re worth it and they do improve germination significantly. 5- Any light in the right K temp will work. 5500-6500K is the correct k temp. This is not to be confused with lumens, they are not the same. 6.) Start when the signs are right. Don’t be willynilly. Ask any member of The Compound Club and they’ll tell ya all about how their termination rates and garden yields improved bc they followed this advice. . . . . . . #folkcore #cottagecore #gardencore #simpliving #slowfashion #simpleandstill #farmcore #slowliving #prairiestyle #mountainstyle #fromscratchliving #fromscratch #ancestralliving #folkways #ancestralwisdom #slowmotherhood #intentionalliving #counterculturemom #seedstarting #seedstarts #greenhouse #greenhousegardening #greenhouselife #greenhouses #greenhousebusiness #nurserybusiness #gardenmama #gardencore #gardencoach #gardening https://www.instagram.com/p/CmsL-E0O3E1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
