Today we talk about starting seeds in a variety of ways but mostly from the stand point of starting them indoors to get plants ready to be put out after danger of frost.  This is an area where a lot of people struggle and frankly a lot of mistakes are made.

Episode-2481- Half Acre Homesteading – Part Four – Plant Propagation

Okay I am calling this series “Half Acre Homesteading” because marketing. The use of two words in a 2-3 word phrase is good at grabbing attention, think “Taco Tuesdays” or anything in that vein. You don’t need a half acre to make today’s show work for you, you can do most of this on even a postage stamp lot, many do. Likewise even if you have a lot more land, then this is what we call zone one design. Creation of a 1/20th – 1/2 acre system that you spend the majority of your activity on and hence it is … Continue reading →

Last week we talked about a lot of great new plants to grow for 2018 so today is a good time to talk about starting all those seeds you’ve ordered or will be ordering this month.  Today’s show was prompted by a question about leggy seedlings of tomatoes grown for market sales, but I think it will help everyone. Today’s show includes a segment from a show back in 2012.  I am doing this to help save my voice during my cold (dubbed snot slinger flu).  More so however, because I think this information is imperative to understanding how to … Continue reading →

I get a lot of questions from people who are looking to start plants from seeds vs. buying plants at the nursery.  Many people struggle with seed starting for a variety of reasons so I am dedicating most of today’s show to help you master the skill of taking tiny seeds and turning them into food and medicine producing plants. The reality is starting seeds can be frustrating if you don’t do it correctly but it doesn’t have to be difficult as long as you follow the blueprint Mother Nature has laid out for us.  Once you do that starting … Continue reading →

Today we have Clayton Jacobs who is the creator of “The Soil Cube” with us for an interview.  The Soil Cube Tool makes small 2″ cubes of soil that you sow your seeds into and grow them into seedlings before putting them out in the garden.

The seedlings will thrive … Continue reading →
