Youtube: Repotting Mass-Planted Seedlings

When you have limited space in your seed-starting area, you can mass plant (overplant) seeds into any container. In this instance, I planted Broccoli, Cabbage, Pak Choi, Kale, Perpetual Spinach, and Chard into two 36-cell flats and transplanted in various pots. By pulling plugs and teasing them apart before they get too big and roots bind, this can be done successfully.  Check out the video from my Youtube which is shown just below:


When I finished repotting the seedlings, their home will be my garage--which is filled with gardening stuff (yep, messy)--until they can make it into the garden spots. Seedlings are planted in 3" net cups, plastic cups, and 2 kinds of pots I created called "ugly pots". I'm always trying different things and several things are going on here that I'll explain in future vids. 

Just so you know, there's no one way to do this! This is just how I'm doing it right now. As a matter of fact, if you've become so rigid in procedure, you're on the wrong path IMO. Instead, look at successful gardening concepts and move about within the concepts. The more you do, the more you'll get comfortable. And remember, It's all fun!
