- Economical way to have PLENTY of Seed Starter Mix. Danny shows how we have our seed starter mix using Schultz Potting Soil and separating the larger particles out and keeping the soil. Never waste anything! The larger wood particles make a great mulch over our sweet potatoes that we plant to make sweet potato slips.

Awesome! Tip Danny&Wanda!! Love you Guys!
We’re preparing for spring, hooray!
Love the sign
Good morning 😃
Good job.
Thanks 😊
thanks for the help
Thank you 🙏
Good video WOW THATS PRETTY SOIL thx for sharing enjoyed it
That is a great tip.
I started making my own potting mix too.
Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
With the ruff in the bottom of the Haas trays will make the roots stronger because they will have to fight to get through.
Actually it's easier for the plant root system to grow this way.
I agree. I did not think of that top.
Good to know 👍😁💝
I’m tired of this cold.
Thanks for the tips.
Girl so am I. But we still have more coming this weekend.
@@DeepSouthHomestead I’ve been disking today trying to get the dirt ready so we can plant.
I love irony. I was just thinking about this earlier. Thanks for the info
Yep 👍 it getting time if u don’t mind we’re u get seat at
Thank you for sharing your method of making planting medium. I already have some Hoss Tools planting trays so now I have to get to work planting.
Im always looking for ways to save money. This is a great idea.
Good stuff Danny, we do the same.
Funny. This is the second video I’ve seen today regarding this little trick!
Build you a box around that mesh screen and then you can just shake it
found white and blsck sweet potatoes this week, well they could have been yams; gonna try to grow em
Yams don't grow in the US they're from Africa. Sweet potatoes are not real yam's.
Danny, you are so patient. Thanks for the great tip.
Very nice work!
I’ve got a few more weeks before I get to start my seeds. I’m ready for spring.
Ready for Spring is an understatement. Not even the middle of February. God's grace
I'll be starting mid to late next month
Me too!
we love y'all, Mr Danny has the best videos !
Thank you for such a Great ideal, ive been waiting on funds to be able to buy the seeding mix, but now i don't have to to wait. Again Thank you.
Thank you so much , you are such a blessing to me . This past year or two with All you have shared I’ve been Blessed .
I've been successful using compost from the yard(I know people say it can introduce disease but if that worries anyone, you can bake it in the oven to sterilize it) peat moss, and perlite. Pretty cheap and I am having pretty good success. I sift my compost pretty much the same way you are sifting the potting mix.
Thank you I am glad to have a great garden tip
We do the same but use a piece of stainless steel mesh found online. We have a set of several mesh sizes. Just built a frame around it to keep it flat. The smaller & medium mesh is good for filtering leaves out of collected water or for seed winnowing very small seeds.
The largest mesh size act as a seed winnowing device as well as a sieve to make seed starting medium.
We use peat, vermiculite, perlite, compost and if we have any, potting mix. The sifted large pieces act as mulch or we use it to bulk out the soil at the bottom of planters.
That’s what we use also...well expect for this year...My mom had a stroke and I am her 24/7 caregiver so I went with the easy way this year and just bought my seed starting mix.
Good morning brother, Good Shabbos!
Always great information
Since you know all about Grazon, seeing that Black Kow behind you answers a question that even the customer service folks at Black Kow couldn't answer for me. No trouble from Grazon in the manure, I assume?
We have not had any problems with it yet.
7 degrees when i got up and todays high is 26 here in south central iowa . Cant wait for warmer weather. Im planning my garden and getting things gathered up . Seeds are ordered and on there way . Have to do quite a few containers and going to make Hugelculture beds also . Basically starting from scratch at a new place but planning to plant alot to feed myself and 2 of my sons and their families. Canning and storing are also in my plans . Extra will donated to the local food pantry and those that cant afford produce at the local stores .
LOL, Danny, I have to say this (with all love) You look like a garden gnome on your thumbnail for the video. There's an idea for you for Etsy! Carve some Danny Garden Gnomes to sell, I'd buy one! Just plain wood, then people can paint any way they wish ( or leave natural)
I didn't have a screen so I used the cage from an old pedestal fan for screening for potting soil. It's not fine enough for seed starting, but it worked on my good black soil that broke down from my ever growing and decaying brush pile.
Makes sense! Think I've got a piece of mesh about like that, too.
Liked that method, I haven't noticed that Schultz potting soil over my way,, keep a eye out for it. Thanks
good tips
Thanks for all the good tips Dan. I've used them all with great results.
Danny and Wanda, could you make a video about using urine for fertilizer? As the commercial nitrogen fertilizers become harder to get and more expensive, this is something people will need to start considering.
Good morning.
-26 F here, I’m sifting seed starting mix in my kitchen 🙄 I hate the mess but I love starting seeds 😍
👍🏻 -26 F......Now that’s dedication. 👏👏👏❤️
I just love watching and learning from y’all. Thank you for educating us on these things. The secret is in the details like dirt.
Morning Y’all , good advice, good video !
Great tip Danny, I'll remember this one. Maybe a bigger shovel to put it back in the bag😁
Lol good idea
Thanks Danny & Wanda for great tips on getting seed start mix ready. Anywhere you can save money is helpful. 💕from Ky.
Wooohooo I can finally start my pepper seeds today. So excited to get my hands in the dirt.
Ditto I used 1/4 screen cloth cut to a milk crate to screen then mix up Mel's Mix from Square Foot Garden
It's too bad THEY don't do that already!
Danny I bought a couple bags of miracle grow potting soil from Walmart and it killed everything I used it on. Now I just go out in the woods and scrape back the duff under a tree and dig several inches of good dirt and then rake the duff back in the hole when I'm done. It's good, it's free, and I'll never buy from Walmart again. Peace and blessings.
WOW I've never had that happen.
Good info Danny!
SO DOING THIS!! thank you Danny.. by the way Love the
greenhouse ...seed shed!
Thanks for showing us how to make it work.
Thanks for the tips on making your own seeds starting soil.
Thank you, Danny, for such good simple advice on how to save money! I will keep this in mind.
Thanks Mr. Danny. I thought of doing that but never saw anyone else do it. I also like the fertilizer being in it.
Thank you for the good tip I'll be using it God-bless have a blessed day
Great idea!! Thank you!!
I have a bag waiting for me to do just that. Thanks Danny and Mrs. Wanda for this tip/trick money saver idea. I won't be wasting my money on seed starter anymore.
Thank you for the great tip I will try it 😀
I’m doing it like that this year!
I just started my seeds a few days ago . We were at 74 yesterday here in south east Texas.
I’m jealous. -26 F here 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Yea its like -74 here wtf!
But in Texas, the temps are already dropping in the upper 40's in the Texas hill country. This week temperatures will rise again.
I have an old pizza pan with holes i screen soil with.For some reason doing that is relaxing to me
Morning y’all! Going to start a bunch today!
Thank you ..great idea🌱
Great tip! Thanks Danny!
I do the same thing. I made a soil screen from quarter inch hardware cloth I framed to make a sifter. I am ready for spring. Temps in teens here and wind chill on top of that. It will be awhile.
The seed starting mix is 5.00 a bag. If you buy 2 or 3 you basically have the same amount as that. The only thing is that it won’t have the time release fertilizer in it. Idk how much the seed starting mix is in your area but here it’s 5.00.
More than that here.
Watched your video on the ants in your sweet potato pot. Just read article about using black pepper straight in the dirt to keep them out.
We do same with a frame made with 1/4 inch hardware cloth.
It's 50 bagged/purchased mix and 50% home grown compost from kitchen scrap.
Depending on what we're seeding it may get some other amendments - wood ash, sulfur, pearlite/Vermiculite, worm castings, additional fertilizer... but the base is half and half commercial to home compost.
The leftover woody big chunks go into the woodchip mushroom beds so it's not wasted.
I am going to try seed blocker tool this year. This type of seed starter mix would be ideal
Thanks for sharing your seed starting mix tips 🤩!
Great idea 💡 Mr. Danny ,
We bought the seed starter , but it's my 1st time starting our own Everything , age 56 & finally Done with what they put out at the big box stores, PLUS THE PRICES , already have many Varities even your AMISH PASTE I got off Etsy , have germinated & under lights - Its cold today here in Montgomery, Texas
Was gonna start hardening a few .
God bless you & Mrs. Wanda

Where do you get black Kow for your garden?
Our hardware store.
Where did y'all purchase the strawberry planter that's in your greenhouse?
It's a green stalk we have a link below in the description.
I love it when Danny says "look at that "
I have been spending a lot of time sieving compost to a nice crumbly soft mix that roots will be in heaven with. It is worth the effort if you have a good sieve. I also add other parts into it like fish blood bone and depending on what I am using it for I might put some potato fertilizer in there too. I am a potting making machine now before spring I have bags of it ready to go. It feels really nice sometimes I cant stop just picking it up and letting it run through fingers.
I may have to buy one of those scooter seats. I have one bad knee and 4 fused ribs and back damage from a car accident. I do lot and stay active cuz being sedentary makes it worse(try telling other pain patients that. They think I'm lying about having bad back).
But I right now have a hunting cushion taped to a 5 gallon bucket that I sit on to get work done. Being able to scoot along my rows would be easier.
My family never know what to get me for my Christmas or birthday lol hope they come in green thats my favorite color.
They do.
I made myself a rotating tromell from a 12-gallon steel barrel. It breaks apart clumps and holds back sticks and other crud too large to drop through the holes in the screen. It can accommodate several shovels full at one time.
I thought of doing that. Remember watching Gold Rush and thought that might be a good idea.
I sift my soil too, I also sift and add a little compost.

Looks chilly there. Here in So Cal we didn’t even have a winter. It’s been getting up around 90 degrees during the day. And this is our rainy season, but we have had constant East Winds-which for us is dry desert influence. I see another fast approaching drought on the horizon.
Start saving as much water as possible.
@@mawmawshomesteadpreparedness Thank you for replying to my rant. You’ve completely shifted my focus from ranting about the problem to finding a way to deal with it.
Oh, you have the same Hoss trays I have bought them last year but haven’t used them yet. I got four which reduced the price. I got a super good deal on those. Don’t know what they are running now though with prices going up.
Thanks for the information I just tried potting soil to sprout Broccoli and Cabbage I could tell those little sticks hindered some of the seeds but still got plenty. Just haven to have a sifter as well, great that will be fantastic for me.
Was wondering if you ordered the bottom trays for you Hoss trays I didn’t and don’t have a greenhouse yet it up but I have one. Guess you don’t need the trays if you are watering outside.
Thanks again. I still have the first wooden spoon (Stivers Event)you made, have you made any since?
Sherree in Kentucky
No I haven't don't have the time anymore.
👍
Who do yall recommend getting seeds from? Any reputable suggestions are really appreciated!
Try Pinetree Garden Seeds or High Mowing Organic Seeds.
@@sandrajohnson9926 thank you
@@LivingBreadHomestead MIGardener, Johnny's seeds, hoss tools seeds, Fecdo seeds, Baker Creek seeds, seed savers exchange, seeds of change
@@jessicah2345 oh goodness, thanks for all the suggestions. I've forgotten over time and several sound familiar. Thank you!!
This is great advice! I do the same thing for my soil I put in my Greenstalks.
You're right, Don't get taken in by those expensive fancy seed starting mixes. Like you, I mix my own of just 5prts Sphagnum peat moss or Coir, 1prt vermiculite, 1/2prt rock dust and sprinkle worm castings on top. Easy Peasy.
Can you just buy compost
I used black cow maneur once and stopped because of possible grazon in it, but today I noticed some in this video. So, I am guessing its not an issue per your experience?
It may or may not have Grazon depending on the location and farmer
Haven't had a problem yet.
Hi Danny. I'd be interested to know what you do with your seed starting mix that's in the Hoss Tools trays when you transplant the seedlings into larger pots. Since the starting mix is actually soil and has fertilizer and perlite already in it, it seems to me that it would be reusable for more seed starting later on.
It comes out with the plant and is put in the larger container. There is none left in the tray.
We did the same when we couldn't find seed starting mix at our store. I was really happy with the results!
We buy peat moss, vermiculite and mix our own 🙂
I just keep wondering how people used to start their seeds, before these pre-mixes, all these special ingredients that you don’t necessarily find where you live. Does anyone know?
I have wondered the same exact thing
I have videos on using leaf mold.
Thank you! I’ll search for them.
👍😎👍
Danny I have a tree pruning question if you have time. I’ve an Granny Smith apple tree that is 27 years old and never been pruned. It does put on a few tennis ball apples every year, but I’ve let birds get them. It has not started to bud and I need to do something. My thoughts are to cut trim out as many of the waterspouts as I can and the dead branches on the lower outside. I know I need to open up the center, but am leery of trimming to much out at one time. I figure this for this year and then open up more next year. I believe the tree has plenty of good production in it if cared for properly. Does this sound like I’m on right track? I realize you can’t see my tree and are only going on my description. Your thoughts would be helpful
This is fine . You don't want to take to much the first year.
@@DeepSouthHomestead thanks for your reply. I appreciate the encouragement
Gathered my amendments yesterday. No seed yet. Lost my veggie seed supply in a move 😕 any suggestion on a cataloge supply with good results?
High Mowing Organic Seeds, Pinetree Garden Seeds & Fedco.
I'm on my 4th order.
I actually ordered from Seeds of Italy this year. Their packages have a bunch. Pinetree has reasonable prices.

Seeds don't need any fertilizer to germinate. That's why seed starter has no fertilizer. Plants don't need fertilier until they get their first leaves. Then you can use liquid fertilizer until you transfer your plants into bigger pots, then you can use potting soil that has fertilizer.
This cuts out a step.
So, if you open a bag of soil and it is moldy, is it all right to use?
I wouldn't use it to start seeds in.
