I came here for help and so happens that you are growing what I’m growing and I completely appreciate your video 💕

[samkat]

How often do I need to fertilize when I move my plants outside?

[brettbaker]

Can I add chicken coop floor poop/dirt as fertilizer in the garden after my veggie seeds have sprouted? How do I mix it into the dirt without disturbing the roots .. or do I just sprinkle it on top and water?

[shirasezan]

so to the point and very well explained thank you

[GirlMomma]

Thank you so much for this! You teach so well and are easy for me to understand! Such helpful tips! Off to see your worm bucket video!👏💜

Correction to a statement I made about the cotyledon leaves. THEY ARE PHOTOSYNTHETIC BUT JUST NOT NEARLY AS MUCH AS THE TRUE SET OF LEAVES.

[patiencekates]

I needed this thanks, subscribed and looking forward to more

[secretgame]

Thank you. I learned a lot from you. What about algae on the surface of the seeding trays? Is there something that can be done to prevent their growth or to kill them when they show up? Thank you.

I setup hundreds of seed trays for starting my seeds and it'd been a few years since I gardened and I accidentally added diluted tea fertilizer mixed with water to all the trays. Did I just ruin all my hard work? I'm just planting the seeds tonight and wanted the soil to be moist. Considering flushing from the top with a garden hose on the shower setting but then my soil will be wet for some time and probably unusable, was looking to plant seeds tonight.

Great video! Just wanted to correct a small piece of information @0:55. Generally speaking, cotyledons *do* actually photosynthesize both before and after the plant grows its true leaves, only if they are photosynthetic cotyledons of course. Don't know what lead you to believe the contrary. In fact, a lot of seedlings rely on carbohydrates produced by the cotyledons in order to grow the first true leaves as they contain enough nutrients for the first set of true leaves but not carbs.

Good luck with your channel =)

The worm leachate from newer systems, and those that are poorly maintained, can contain various phytotoxic compounds, so it’s important to be a bit more cautious when using it. Diluting it and/or aerating before use can help though.

[kitchentiktoking]

I’m growing inside my house in a tent. Should I just continue fertilizing until the plant is done?

[judyurso]

Would love to know the resources I have at home. What is a homemade fertilizer for phosphorus?

[shandishandi]

How do I apply the fertilizer to the seedlings? I'm new to gardening. I have a 4-4-4 organic fertilizer and I only have the first two leaves on each seedling so far, but one of the leaves has a yellow spot so I'm scared that something is wrong

[shhm]

One thing you said that seems a bit off. Is that plants don't photosynthesize with the cotyledons. Then what would explain a plant growing in the dark being yellow as apose to one growing in light that turns green isn't that photosynthesis in itself

[thewseone]

1.2.1. Pre made.. 1nce tru.. and once a week.. make worm castings and also go fishing

[damuffin]

My sweet basil already have true set of leaves but it was still small maybe like 1 inch(the whole plant), its already been 3 weeks and like you said I used seedlings soil without nutrients, should I fertilize it?

[SreeGuruVasthu]

That fertilizer liquid how frequently we can use...can we use it daily?also do we need to mix it with water or directly we use it on seedlings

[jennifermccoy]

Thank you. I should have hit up YouTube years ago.

[cameron]

I dont use fertiliser and my stuff grows in clay. Can u do a test and see for your self
