Get the right tools and materials to make your project a success - check out my top recommendations below: → Garden Soil: amzn.to/3T3oXMa → Plastic Hand Trowel: amzn.to/4dvZnrw → Garden Pump Sprayer: amzn.to/3WYe4N4 → Rectangular Planter Box: amzn.to/4dSoWCS → Watering Can: amzn.to/4fYrRfa → Pruning Shears: amzn.to/3M6ivjN
So at one point your instructions are to gently remove the seedlings from the cups; then you say you can plant them right in the cups; then you show them planted outside the original cups and farther apart than the egg carton cups would be--so which is right? Is it possible to just plunk the egg carton seedlings and all into a pot and expect lettuce to result? Thanks for clarifying.
Both ways are fine, just make sure your egg carton is made of biodegradable material that can be decomposed. If you are not sure then it׳s better to take the seedlings out of the egg carton before planting.
Another question: after harvesting, can we use the same pot and soil for another set of seedlings to grow the next bunch of lettuce or do we need all new soil? Thanks for your videos.
It's generally fine to reuse potting soil if your plant was healthy, you just need to improve the texture and nutrients in the potting soil before reuse. In case you did notice pests or diseases on your plant, we highly recommend to sterilize the mix to avoid infecting next year's plants.
Thanks for your input! In this scenario, since the seedlings were grown and stayed in the balcony, hardening off wasn't necessary. Typically, though, it's an essential step, and you're right to mention it. Thanks for highlighting this aspect!

@@DinasGarden How do you sterilize the soil? Thanks.
awesome video, thank you!
Thanks 💚
Video did not show to harden (acclimate to outdoors) the tiny seedlings before transplanting it to planter and taking it directly outdoors.
