I buy the same trays from Bootstrap Farmer. Now available through MIgardener. I'm not an Epic gardener fan.
I also use the same boxes for storing my seeds. They are handy.
I'm going to try those onions you showed. I'm starting more plants than I should because it's been so nice. Today it's 73° here in SW Minnesota. If you can plan ahead, I have best luck with wetting my mix the night before I pot it up. For labels, I save 32 oz yogurt tubs. Cut into label shape. Strips with pointed ends. I use a China marker. Hubby calls it a grease pen. Its a wax pencil that you pull the string to sharpen. Its very frugal and print won't bleed like on the sticks. Their reusable also.
I'm awful at journaling. I like your growing guide! Your's looks doable. I'm going to get it now! Thanks for another fun video. 💚🌞
I agree - I’m so tempted to move ahead on my seeding schedule since it’s been so nice! I love your ideas on the plant markers, too! ♥️
Hello from Forest Lake Minnesota! Great episode!
Thanks, Pat!!! I hope you guys had a great trip!!! 🙌🏼
Great info here!! Love your journey!!!! I am totally following for the distance!👍🏼
Awesome! Thank you so much!
I use this soil too! But I use it for soil blocking - no fancy soil recipe. I've had great success too
That's great! I’m glad to hear it ☺️
Thank you for the links! 🌱 Like the music too 🎶 🪩🕺
Disco forever!
You’re welcome and I’m so glad to hear that you liked it! ☺️
I'de like to try the Epic tray's, they look great. Unfortunately they are too overpriced.
I get it! They are an investment, but they are built to last 💫
I agree....I need to put these on my Christmas list.....if everyone bought me some I may have enough 😳🫣 They r very spendy!
@@Greens5511 LOL. I wish all a money tree and the gift of giving😉
😳😱Well I pulled the trigger....I ordered those seed trays....oh boy....that is a lot....I feel bad because Epic has a 15% off deal now and I HOPED I could use your 5% off code but it wouldn't let me...that's a bummer! Sorry about that, but I had to go for the 15% off. Hopefully you get some credit for me using your link? 🤷Well I can gimp by with most all of my cells...but dang those trays they go on....mine are so cracked and each year I buy a new set for inside the house for seed starting....outside the cracked ones actually work kinda sorta okay to let out excess water....until times that the whole tray buckles and all my cells fall out...that happens. Well anyway....thanks for the video, I feel like it got me to buy them and on sale with free shipping....
No worries and I’m so pleased to hear you were able to get 15% off! That’s a great deal! ☺️ Thanks for thinking of me though, it’ll likely still track through my link 🫶🏼
I am looking for the Purple cow potting mix, u said u buy it locally, from where?
Petersons Mill in North Branch, which is well over an hour from me, but I was passing through ☺️. Love that store!
@@thehomesteadingrd Yeah, never heard of that....I was hoping something like Menards....Lowes doesn't carry it....$29 on Amazon for a 12 qt bag....a lot more than another omri brand I use
💚👍
Spring is almost here! So excited 😁
Me too!! Big time!💚👍
