IT'S TIME TO START YOUR SPRING GARDEN SEEDS

Step by step instructions on how to start seeds indoors. You’ll see seeds sprout in 3 days! Stop buying plants and start growing from seed!

What is the easiest way to start seeds indoors? We start almost everything from seed indoors to guarantee a high germination rate and strong plants. The more control we have over growing conditions, the stronger we can make the plants so they are optimized for when they move outdoors to the garden.

SUPPLIES You’ll need seeds, potting mix, water and a heating mat.

POTTING MIX

Add potting mix to a seedling tray (on top of a growing tray). DO NOT USE SOIL, I REPEAT DO NOT USE SOIL.

POKE HOLES

1/2 inch deep in the potting mix for your seeds.

Add seeds to holes.

Add 1 to 2 seeds per hole, depending on age of seeds.

COVER UP HOLES

with surrounding potting mix and pat down lightly.

WATER FROM THE BOTTOM

This way the water will rise into the seedling trays, soaking up the seeds, preventing them from drying out.

How do you germinate seeds quickly indoors? To germinate seeds very quickly indoors I recommend using a heat mat. By using a heat mat we’re almost always seeing a 100% germination rate. This is the heat mat we’ve used for many years.

Do you need a grow light to start seeds indoors?

At the very beginning (the first few days where they sprout up from the surface) you don’t need a grow light. After that I recommend grow lights to ensure the strongest seedlings possible.
