EASY Way To KEEP SEED BEDS MOIST! 🌱🌱🌱

#garden #seeds #flowers #pollinatorgarden #gardening
Hey Friends!
We are sowing more seeds for cut flowers here in my zone 6b/7 during the first week of July.
Seeds need to be kept consistently moist in order to germinate so we are using natural burlap as a covering for the seed beds until the seed germinate. This also helps with critter and bird control.
I will watch the for seed germination and then remove the burlap once at least half of the seeds have germinated. The burlap can be stored for use over and over again.
Thanks for watching and for your faithful support!

Bobbi, that's such a great idea, I'll look for some rolls of it to use next year. Hopefully, that will keep those goofy squirrels and birds away. Thank you. ~Margie🤗🌱

If your seeds germinate, and after you remove your burlap then you might eventually have problems with pests, or the wild life. In my opinion, I think you are covering your garden beds wrong! The reason why hoops are placed in a garden bed is, for someone to use it to cover their garden bed with material.
If I had my own garden bed with goops like you then I would be using material with the hoops to cover my garden bed. I have not seen anyone cover their garden beds like you.
You could use pesticide to protect what you are growing, but there are also cons as well, for using pesticide. I suggest researching this topic before using pesticide.

Hi! I actually cover the beds with light weight row covers to help protect them until they get to be a pretty good size. This video is intended to show how to keep seed beds moist for germination. They are all germinated now and covered with summer row cover and growing nicely! I do have an older video on how to win against pest and wildlife when direct sowing seeds. I use a combination of direct sowing and pre-starting seeds.

@@GardeningOnTaylorMountain A lot of gardeners do not germinate their seeds like you. I know of only one other gardener who germinates his seeds like you.
I do not germinate my seeds like you, and I have not tried either.
Garden beds are one place where gardeners can transplant their germinated seeds when they are ready, and this is from what I learned.

@@knowledgeandmultiskilled well now you’ve learned something new friend! You can grow from seed both ways and as I said, I do!
