I love that your video was under 3 minutes and explained how to make seed tape.
i like to use flour and water as the glue, just to avoid harmful chemicals on my seedlings. :)
Great idea! :)
I use little dabs of my feces. It's very sticky and provides organic fertilizer to the seeds when they sprout.
Kube Dog Now that's Organic gardening!
I get pink eye a lot, but I saved the planet last year.
Kube Dog lol
"except for... at the perforation!" 😅😍she's so adorable. and she's very good at these hort informationals
Thank you! This is really helpful. I have always had trouble spacing, wasting, and thinning my root crops.
Much better than commercial seed tape. The last one I bought had seeds far too close together and wasted 3-4 seeds where one would do.
I usually put three or four different seeds on a tape. So, it's a mix tape.

Are you a cheesemaker? Cause that was a gouda joke!

@@Kube_Dog its clever😆
I’m glad I’m not the only one with a big ol basket of seeds!
My concern is the glue, , you used white polyvinyl glue that hardens into a plastic when dry, and if it covers the whole seed they would be encapsulated in the glue and may not break through. Some people make a glue with flour and water wich seems safer, just saying, hope I'm wrong.
She is terrific!!! Wow, great garden ideas! I love these videos.
This looks so awesome. I will give it a try.
Food for thought, could you substitute the glue for honey if you was gonna use the seed tape right away? Is it true that honey has benefits for seedlings? I am gardening more than ever! Been outside harvesting Oregano, planting tomatoes, marigolds, and petunias. Then, dehydrated my Oregano! ❤it!
Oh my word! BRILLIANT!
Yes. An oG video saves the day!🎉
omg ur genius im gonna cry
Thank you, sweet friend. This is a great video... God bless your days... Ann Foster, BooksbyAFoster
Girl STOP! That’s sooo cool!
I love this!! thanks for sharing such a great idea!!
2019... going to try this with my container. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hello, I have a question, does the glue harm the seeds ? I think on trying it with herb seeds, what do you think ?
Cristina Rf Hi Cristina! The glue doesn't harm the seeds, they come right up without any problems! I think it would work great for herbs! If you would like more of an organic approach, you can make your own 'glue' by dissolving 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch in 1 cup of boiling water, and stir until it thickens. That works equally as well! Thanks for the question! ~Laura
Garden Answer Thank you for the quick answer. And congratulations for your great Videos.
I'm thinking that the glue may harm the seeds in some cases. I tried this with parsely seeds and they never sprouted.
Great tip
Love this tip!
Brilliant!!!
can you do this with trgular scotch or masking tape?
You've made this way harder than it needs to be
What is the easier method?
Some people have health issues that keep them from getting down on the ground and trying to space out tiny seeds.... and then coming back out to thin in a couple weeks.
She's making it as easy as it should be.
Do you find you have a problem with mold or rot from the paper towel? How is the germination rate with this method?
+Gwen H I haven't had any problems with mold and have had great germination! No problems to report! ;) ~Laura
How far ahead doyou start these?
Where did you get this planter from? 1:43 time stamp.
Seeds up or down? Or doesn't it matter?
Why not let the seeds in the package? Or is this for planting usefull? 🤔
I have an autoimmune disease that makes it hard to get and stay down on my knees. Setting seed tapes down and burying them is so much easier than trying to space out tiny seeds. And then you're back out in a couple weeks thinning them out.....
How do the roots get through the tough paper towels?
Use cheap paper towels.
@@goosecouple sounds like a good idea - thanks.
can i use corn meal because we dont use flour or cornstarch...i bought the corn meal because i thought it was cornstarch i just did not read the last part😂
yeah because GLUE is so healthy for the seeds that will turn into your food SMH
The amount of “chemicals “ in the 1 spot of white glue compared to the car exhaust we breathe each day is minimal.
