The Simple Art of Sowing Seeds in Modules

Today's video is to mark the fact that the sowing season is starting to gradually pick up! In this video, I demonstrate the simple art of sowing seeds in modules for fantastic harvests. Sowing seeds is so important because it sets up the plant for the rest of its life, however, seed sowing is often overcomplicated so I want to show you how to get the best results using the simplest of techniques. Have a great time sowing!

I bought a cheap reflective car windscreen cover last year which I put behind my seeds on the windowsill to reflect back more light. Thicker and stood up better than foil covered cardboard & I can use it again this year.

Happy March, y'all 👩‍🌾 Here in the US South it's warming up beautifully and I am a' plantin' my seeds-- ALONG with my grands👧🧒👦 Thanks, Huw, for sharing your love of growing through your gift of teaching 💕

My garden's going to rock this year. I put in a paver patio in my backyard using 100+ year old reclaimed pavers. Instead of grass for the rest of the my backyard, I'm planting lots of vegetables and flowers. Very excited for March to roll around.

Just a heads up for us yanks, what Huw calls "potting/seed compost" is packaged and sold as "seed starting mix" for us.

Finally i see a chart with the number of seeds per module and good for multisowing! Good advices you give for many things in your videos, and not too long! Merci!! Québec-CAN!

Great and important reminder to write down the name and date of the seed and sowing. And I love how you share that “you never learn” - which I think ALL of us would have done time and again. It never fails to amaze me how I cannot remember the seed I sowed even though it was clear in my mind just yesterday lol!

This year 2023, I didn’t this method. I’m trying the big aluminum pans for turkey or roasting. Noticed that I planted more and used up less space . I’m growing corn, Brussels sprouts, carrots, and still looking for Lima beans. The Lima beans and corn and Brussels sprout I was using the red party’s cups. I’m hoping the this eliminates the two transplant steps before putting them in ground. If any extra, I give away which I think where the red cup will come in Because off the stupid high cost of groceries this month ( notice I didn’t say this year, because groceries being going up every month) I’ve over planted everything, and best off all the guys next door letting me use there land too!👍👍

Hola Huw, desde Querétaro, Mexico, me encanta ver tus videos, sobre todo, por que te tomas el tiempo de explicar paso a paso todo el proceso desde la germinación de las semillas hasta la recolección. Yo tengo 4000 mt de terreno, y ahora estoy por empezar todo el proceso para hacer una huerta orgánica de hortalizas y frutales, y bueno con tus videos estoy muy motivada y espero hacerlo muy bien. Gracias y saludos desde mi HERMOSO MEXICO.

I can’t wait to get sowing over the next few weeks 🙂 I started watering my seedling from the bottom after watching a video of yours last year, its much easier and encourages great roots. Am trying no dig this year, I’m a big fan of Charles Dowding after watching your video with him. Happy sowing everyone! 🌱

Thank you so much for this information.

Great video. I also use a mini greenhouse.. I use it inside my non heated conservatory for starting seeds and then after the frosts I use the frame outside for putting my salad things on like cut & come again lettuce, pea shoots, beet leaves etc, to keep them away from the slugs

I live in Vietnam and i have always followed you. I'm really like video of you, it is effective with me.

Thanks for this video. Respect from Türkiye.

I bought your book last week - its great

[mikeross]

I have multi sown seeds for several decades and my inspiration was Geoff Hamilton who i was the first person I saw on tv who advocated this method. Shows my age!

[HoH]

Thanks Huw for the informative video as always!

[GuyGoesGreen]

Thanks Huw, really useful. Damaging my bank balance as well, as I've purchased some of the seeding trays and will get some of that compost too. Top tip about covering the trays with cardboard too - I'd never considered it, yet my trays are frequently getting too dry. Great recommendations, thanks. Am looking forward to some progress this year, fingers crossed. Keep up the good work...

I just find your Channel it's so helpful thanks from Germany 😊

[darinbennett]

Huw, thanks for the step-by-step tutorial on sowing seeds. I have always been hesitant in starting plants this way and I'm not really sure why. It is cost effective to start plants by seeds and so I'm going to try doing more seed sowing this year. It's exciting to be at this time of year when anything and everything seems possible! Here's to a great season of gardening. (Kentucky, USA)

What i like to do and I have never had a problem with growing is, ziploc bag, paper towels, , put seed on towel water lightly, put towel in ziploc bag put in light. When they grow in 3 to 7 days transplant into containers. I have 100 percent growth
