If you wish to start a garden it doesn’t have to be expensive, use what you have or shop your local dollar stores/value stores for supplies and seeds!
Yes I have a very nice looking setup but u still use dollar store items and up cycle cups/cans for plant growing! You don’t need to spend a ton to start your food growing journey.
My seed starting supplies I use :
Trays : https://amzn.to/3wK8TGR
Seed trays with humidity dome : https://amzn.to/3In6k00
Coco coir: https://amzn.to/4bUWeBd
Perlite: get it from Lowe’s or homedepot it’s cheaper there. Located in garden section.

All supplies I use are purchased with my own funds over time to have the setup you see in my ig/tik tok and channel. Use what you have and add later on. Thanks for watching! #gardening #diygarden #grownfromseed #gardening

So helpful…I appreciate you taking the time to show how you do things.
Queenii, this is going to be so helpful for a lot of people. Including myself.
This was so helpful thank you for this video I will be doing this
Great advice. I was just there the other day and bought seeds and pots myself. Repurposing the baking tin as a humidity dome tray is clever. I like it and may just try that too. Thanks.
Beautiful Video ❤ VERY HELPFUL SISTA….THANK UUUUUUU
Yes! Seeds do not care how much you spent on them lol my bell peppers and my basil were from dollar tree. And they all sprouted first! Was surprised. I can never find the coco coir though. I’m gonna go to a few more dollar trees in the area to check.
Thanks so much for this!
Very nice are you up potting? The cups are very small.
What a great idea for the mini greenhouse!
Queenie thank you! I am going to go to my dollar tree to stock up for next year and even this year. I didn't realize that that was Coco cuor 😂
Didn’t even know they had this stuff. Saving this video for next year. Hopefully mine has all this in January.
Great great video! Thanks so much for taking the time to show us cost effective ways to start gardening to feed our families ❤
I have never have success with only coco core. I need potting soil with fertilizer, bone meal and coco core on top for moisture. So I’m amazed
I like the cup idea. I was going to use the tin by itself but this is a better idea
Great video love how you teach. Coco coil only? Can i use coco coil only for collards? And do i put them under a light with dome?
OMG girl you are the real deal. Those aren't just seedlings those are whole baby plants! I've seen lots of people show that their seeds germinated but not mature leaves so you don't know you can trust them. But you're for real. Amazing tips, thank you!
This was extremely helpful and easy to follow!!
Thank you so much for making this easy to understand
