👩🏻🦰 A B O U T M E:
Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

Thanks for posting this. I had issues with this last year so needed this information for success ☺️
I know it can take a while for them to germinate but my peppers a lot of seeds have got to the surface but havnt push up through? Can it take a while at that stage?
What do you think of chicken grit instead of vermiculite? I took a class where a master gardener recommend this as a top for winter sowing and I have A LOT! ( I have chickens)
I find it kinda funny you can just use your pinky as a measurement. I mean it's practical, free, and makes sense since we only need a good enough measure but still kinda funny given the stuff like heat mats and grow lights which you can more precisely control
Super cool tutorial Professor. Short and to the point.
💚💚
The stuff for drying horse beding to top as you used vermiculite as described.
Is that stuff good on surface ?
💚🌱💚
I'd love to see videos on going for the little cells to larger cells and onwards to outdoors.
damping off; put a fan on your seed flats
Lovely. Even if you have been seed starting for a long time, a quick refresher is always helpful, and you are on point, as usual.
Very nice, as always! Especially the "pack the soil down" and "sprinkle with vermiculite" tips! Thanks Ashley! Have a great day!
As spring gets nearer I’ve started seeds and have thought about waking up a geranium that’s been in the heated garage. All winter I’ve been caring for cuttings that have had a hellish case of thrips, fungus gnats and maybe even a mildew of some sort. I do t want to do it again. I was wondering if instead if babying cuttings, could I actually just overwinter them like I would with a geranium? I still do t know if the one in the garage will come back, it was alive a month or two ago, but then I though hmm, it would be much easier to maybe even put some roots of plants in a fridge wall winter, does that work? If so, where can I find which plants it will work with? I have a ton of varieties, gomphrena, guara, petunias, an ornamental pepper, a verbena, potato vine, just random stuff that I didn’t want to buy again this year (I’ve heard about sticker shock already in warmer states)
Thank you!
Yep yep, I forgot to cover my seeds with plastic wrap this year and am now realizing that I let it dry out too much… I was so happy to have them planted in time this year, too. I thought I was bottom watering, but accidentally had the cells in a tray already so it just floated for a day with no water getting in! I had one tomato sprout, but no more. And the sprout is bending over weirdly! I'm going to have to replant and try again in a day or so…! First time I've had a failure, but I was trying smaller cells and a real grow light and got excited I guess. This is my third year starting seeds and I feel like I always learn something new! I still feel super sad that I lost almost two weeks of time here though
Hi GIC not really linked to this post but wanted to get this question noticed
I work on a golf course in the U.K. & looking into copper…
Spirals pyramids etc are supposed to increase yield & suppress disease. I was wondering about ppm in soil & foliar feed to grass.
1, as a trace mineral fertiliser companies recommended max 0.5kg per HEC, could you may be up this safely for better health & disease resistance?
2, any other natural minerals you would advise adding as I know Boron is depleted amongst others
Hope you don’t mind the question TIA
