Dad is a multiple world record grower of organic tomatoes and eggplant. Watch as he explains how to start seeds the right way! Successfully starting plants from seed is very simple if you follow the steps explained in this episode. This video is packed with valuable organic gardening knowledge and secrets! Unlock the power of organic soil biology! Make the your soil the best it can be by focusing on feeding the soil microbial biology, instead of feeding your plants. The reason this works best is because the soil microbes themselves are what actually feeds your plant's root system through mycorrhizal symbiosis!
