Hello this is Carl the landscape guy. Today I would like to show you how to plant your own parsley.
For this I have this 80cm long flower box with an irrigation system and water level indicator. The dual floor is equipped with felt strips, which provide water to the soil by capillary effect. I insert the floor, taking care that the felt strips hang as evenly as possible to the bottom of the box so that the system works. The water level indicator is placed in the corner and should later ensure that the soil does not become too wet or too dry. I have two different seeds and will try both.

First, a standard parsley seed and on the other side the so-called seed pills which are seeds that are pressed into pills.

The standard seeds costs about $1, the more expensive pill seeds are approximately $3.

Of course, soil is needed before sowing. I use peat-free flower soil and mix it with compost to obtain a loose nutrient-rich soil structure.

You can use disposable or garden gloves and it’s best to put the soil into the pot by hand. First I lay the compost, which will later provide good water storage. Then the flower soil on top, because the higher mineral content is good for the young plants. It also helps to crush any soil clumps.

I will now sow one side with the standard seeds and the other with the pilled seeds.
To do this, I first distribute the standard seeds evenly on the left side and work it lightly into the soil.
The seed pills are also distributed evenly and pressed in somewhat.
I am already curious which seeds will grow better. Now, of course, watering is very important. I place the finished box in a bright spot on the window sill. After ten days you can clearly see the delicate sprouts. The small plants need constant water supply and light. It can be seen that the standard seeds are already mostly germinated and the seed pills do not show any changes yet. 6 days later a clear growth of the plants can be seen. Unfortunately, the seed pills only germinated sporadically. Therefore, I sow the bare side with new seeds. After about 1 month, the parsley box looks like this. It sits in the kitchen and can be harvested as needed. It doesn't get any healthier than this. And there's no need to go to the grocery store for fresh herbs.

If you would like a herb box like this, just make yourself one, it's simple and practical. However, I cannot recommend to use the seed pills. I hope you enjoyed my video, and take a look at my channel.

Thank you for watching and until next time
I'm Carl the landscape guy.
