👩🏻‍🦰 A B O U T M E:
Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

I NEED more indoor gardening videos please!

For anybody out there with a desk lamp kicking around unused, you can pick up an LED grow light bulb at Canadian Tire starting at $5.49 it's their NOMA brand. That was my first grow light, still using it. It's not going to grow a tomato plant but will definitely benefit for this purpose.

I must have missed a segment about this 'cracky method' so I will have to search it up to understand what I'm doing.

Thanks, Ashley!

Edit: I see it's the 'Kratky Method', now my concern is about the nutrients to put in the water, which apparently is really important.

Yes, please do more videos about indoor gardening. I want to start an indoor garden to keep growing over the long winter.

[loriegroth]

One of my goals this winter is to have indoor herbs and lettuce in addition to my micro greens. I brought in parsley, basil and chocolate mint in the fall and they are doing ok in dirt. I haven’t tried lettuce yet. Thanks for the tips about not buying head lettuce seed. Please do more of these indoor winter gardening videos. I don’t have instagram, so any follow-ups on YouTube are appreciated, too. Thanks!

Indoor gardening would be wicked, specifically for me. Indoor gardening zone 3 with limited space would be ideal lol

[eyespysky]

I grew tomato's carrots, beetroot and peas indoors on my southfacing windowsill 👍🏻

Basel and Pepermint grow nice on my window, I have a 3 year old pepermint plant in my window I trim it often and repot once a year. I use a rectangle pot 2.5 gallons the large amount of dirt helps the plant to not dry out if I forget to water it, my plants in small pots often die from lack of moisture. try over winter your pepper plants on window sill, dig up mature plants in fall repot with new dirt aggressivly trim branches and remove all big leaves treat the stick plant for pests and put in the window sill and replant outdoors in spring after last frost, beware of pests so trim lots and treat with neem oil / soap mix when bring them indoors as fall season
is ending. you must treat for pests even if no signs are there, bringing pests indoors is a disaster, be proactive and if you find pests immediatly quarentine or destroy the plant to save all the other plants no mercy,

You’re always sooo in tune with my plant pondering. I am considering just this exact project. (I’m still on the ledge 😂) Thanks again!

Never knew it was called the cracky method. Did I hear that right? Learn something new every day! I'll go with small soil pots. I'll have to get creative, both with window ledge and wire shelving with grow lights, because my male cat is a climber and a plant eater. It'll take heavy duty infrastructure to do indoor gardening with him around. Maybe prison bars on the windows, and a chain link dog run cage (with top) for the shelving. He keeps me on my toes. My sweet little Luna is happy just to watch me. I appreciate you naming the plants that can grow on ledges. Thanks Ashley!

Got lettuce growing and various sprouts. I just started tulsi basil. Love this content.

[paragoon]

I started my tomatoes on a bay window last year best tomato grow year ever all my neighbors were mad at me they grew nothing

[Karoline_g]

I will take as many windowsill growing vids as you want to make. I appreciate you pointing out why my germination may have been awful. My miners lettuce is taking off but everything else has been resistant.

[sandralee]

I’m really interested in growing my own veggies in my apartment disabled

[olefosshaug]

I was searching for this topic and voila! there you are with a video covering it exactly 💯😘

[imannosseir]

Thank you for all you contribute to the gardening community. I intend on starting indoor gardening but I'm still undevided whether to go hydroponic or Soil. I have a large unused space in the basement and I can setup shelving system with fluorescent tube lights. My priority in to grow fresh salad greens and potentially something like a baby book Choy.

[sixfigurebookkeeper]

Well done! I appreciate learning from you.

[mariem]

Congratulations on your new course. 💚 Yay. Thanks for the great videos

[thebandplayedon..]

Oh yeah! I forgot to buy sprout seed mix & jar tops. Had my eye on that for a while, happy to hear it's worth it. Thanks for the reminder, cheers!

[marcelacecil]

Best of health, you are awesome, love the informative and science-based topics!

[denaross]

Definitely interested in indoor food gardening!
