Gardener Reacts to TikTok Plant Hacks That...Work?

[@ivahihopeful]

I do need to say I LOVE the Epic Cell Trays, one of the best gardening purchases I’ve ever made. My babies stay healthy for so much longer than they would in the conventional trays, gives me the extra time I need to get room for them in the garden. Roots incredibly robust and easy to remove without damaging.

[@Rachel-uj4dg]

I have purchased the Epic four and six cell trays and I love how its a hybrid version of soil blocks and seedling trays. The only issue I am running into is that it seems most soil mixes that I use end up washing out the bottom when I bottom water. Do you have any suggestions for soil retention in your EPIC cell trays?? :)

[@ivahihopeful]

@@Rachel-uj4dg YES! I use Jiffy Natural and Organic Seed Starting Mix, and I’m sure it would wash out if I just dumped it in there. But! I load each cell pack individually with moist mix, and I put my thumb in through the top of each hole and mash it with my fingers from the bottom to pack the bottom half of each planting cell. Then, I tamp down the rest of the mix and smooth over the top. So, it’s very much like blocking. But they stay firm like this, and it is well worth the small extra effort to set it up. Let me know if I did a good enough job explaining the process.

[@m0ther0ne]

I just use kitchen/toilet rolls and just plant the whole roll. This way I NEVER have to disturb my roots, it costs me nothing and the cardboard composts into your soil.

[@nackedgrils9302]

If you buy young plant plugs from a horticultural wholesaler, you'll get a tool that's especially made to push the seedlings out of a multicell tray. It's very satisfying to use but I must say I really love the fork trick.

[@Gocunt]

fork trick looks good for those cheap shitty ones though lol

[@elizabethwallace7029]

[@RagnarokLoW]

I work in a major greenhouse nursery that produces for big retailers and we use fork to plant our millions of pots every year. We use two 2 tined forks with v shaped slots for smaller plant plugs (basil, parsil, thymus coccineus, etc.) and quad-tined aka kitchen forks for larger plants like tomatoes, campanula, etc.

[@epicgardening]

No way! That's so awesome to hear

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

I do that basil hack in the winter and grow it in a sunny window, cutting what I need for cooking, until spring when I propagate it. That way I have fresh basil in the winter too. Win/win!

[@zelavie]

I found your channel last year through your basil video! I always had a brown thumb, and one of my goals for 2021 was to learn how to successfully keep a basil plant alive (I have killed MANY over the years). Between you and one other creator, I learned everything I needed to know, kept that basil plant for the better part of a year, and now have a thriving container garden on my apartment balcony! So thank you for helping me get started on a new path that I never thought I'd succeed in.

[@kepler180]

is a brown thumb the opposite of a green thumb?

[@LittleKikuyu]

Yes 😂👍🏾

[@elizabethmitchell0071]

As far as the grocery store basil, just come home and seperate the plant, keeping the roots. Plant each plant in new pots and pop them under a growlight. 8 hours a day full spectrum light. Top leaves will wilt, but leave them until you see new leaf growth. At that point snip off the upper leaves. No need to butcher basil plants like this video😉

[@solar0wind]

I got basil plants in August, but didn't know that they were several ones, so I left them together and just repotted them. Twice up till now (October). So they grew a lot, apart from a few ones in the back that didn't get as much light. But there definitely aren't 60 plants. Maybe around 20. As soon as the temperatures drop too much to keep the basil outside, I want to put it below a grow light. The one I plan to buy only seems to emit red light. Is that a problem? You wrote that one should use full spectrum light.

[@Cheezitnator]

I suck at growing anything, but basil is so easy I always have it growing out of control even from seed. You can get seeds of whatever variety for cheap and it grows fast. If you have nice weather just plop them in the ground and keep it watered for a few days

[@solar0wind]

@@Cheezitnator Yes, I don't really understand in what way basil is hard to care for. I guess the people that say that put the basil in a too dark spot, didn't repot it after buying it from the store, didn't water it enough or didn't know that basil can't tolerate temperatures below 10˚C. That's all there is to know from my 3 month experience. Even having the individual plants grouped way too closely (see my previous comment) isn't a deal-breaker.

[@OhPervyOne]

Just a little FYI: This is something you have to be careful with. It's okay if the plants are grown in soil. Many aren't, though. I bought a live basil a few years ago and discovered that it was grown in a sponge (probbly hydroponic grow), which would NOT be good to have in the garden... not even in a pot. IF I had known then what I know now, I would have tons of basil from that pot. My sister buys live basil from her local market and the container actually says that it's NOT for garden use. I checked it and - sure enough! - it was planted in a sponge. (I snipped some stems and rooted them for her.) So when you buy those supermarket live plants... check the grow medium to see if it's soil or sponge. If it is a sponge, DON'T let that stop you... cuz you can still propagate cuttings from it.

[@Izzy-fr1zu]

Actually I did this sucessufully with no growlight at all. Propably won't work all year round, but for me it worked perfectly to raise my plants on the windowsill... And I bought and repottet my plant in fairly early spring. In my experience it's more important to protect the plants from cold temperatures, than to provide crazy amounts of light.

[@sallygiles132]

The tissue with grass seeds is probably there to keep the birds from eating all of the seeds. I can always tell which yard has new seeds in them because those little birds that fly in cloud formation are all over it.

[@BankruptMonkey]

It's also a copycat of what was a pretty popular expensive lawn product for a few years, but this diy version has to be cheaper. It keeps birds off the seeds and also reminds you where not to walk and trample on new grass.

[@rockjockchick]

@@BankruptMonkey good point about the walking.

The cloud formation is called a murmuration!!!

Do you mean sparrows? The little brown/grey flying pests? Because we absolutely have to work around them all the time, we‘ve got dozens of them living under our roof. They are really sweet and pretty, and are civilization followers like rats, mice, and doves.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

This season I was working in a restaurant in the spring, and got to keep the ends of like 100 green onions and regrew them in my garden. They are really good at growing back after cutting.

[@al.kenzie]

This was the positive, calming material typical of this channel. I recently introduced a friend to this channel and they commented on how nice it is to just listen to Kevin explain things. Straight forward, matter of fact, no bs, but also no take downs or sass.

[@arienevenida]

Basil videos = "OG days" XD I was there during those days. Can't believe it's few years ago already.

[@SpeedyMarie77]

I think a lot of these videos consider that you live in a tropical zone (around the equator). So things that work for some folks won’t work for me without grow lights and heat. I took over part of my garage with a 10’ by 20’ hoop type style house, and I start seeds, overwinter some tropicals, and of course drink wine with my neighbors. It’s the new winter party spot in lower slower Delaware. My husband is worried the five 0 will show up if they see my grow lights thru the windows 😂. Love your channel, it brings a lot of joy to many people. ***and advertisement - buy their epic seed starting trays, we had a crazy garden and still getting tomatoes off the vine 💕💕 late October ***

[@terrenetherapeutics]

Awesome!

[@theHOAmestead]

Did Kevin move? I thought he lived near San Diego!

[@WiscoMel]

I used to do landscaping and we used a hydro seed method, basically the same as the TP slurry. While it takes a bit to completely break down after sprouting, it was effective at keeping birds and other animals from digging the seed out. Also on sloped areas, topsoil easily washed away unless we purchased rolls of straw matting to lay overtop. I personally hate this because of all the plastic strings that held the straw together. The hydro seed mix didn’t require that extra step.

[@Cerinaya]

Basil, lemon balm and mint are super easy to root and grow. Literally only a few days in the summer and they have roots. My mom planted some sweet potatoes we forgot about that started sprouting this spring and we had a pretty good harvest from them.

[@bronwynmay2603]

[@southernroots2229]

Great video. I Especially like the fork hack. I currently keep/use a large spoon with my garden tools that I use for digging up and separating seedlings that I have direct sown.

[@lucasthemycologist]

If you fork the seedling's roots you risk damaging them. It's best to use a screwdriver to help with pulling the seedlings.

[@ql2ku]

Regrow onion from bulb and save seeds...same with beets, carrots, lettuce, celery,..you'll usually just get seeds, but they're free.

[@GreenLove1]

I LOVE the epic 6-cell - the popping out with your finger is super satisfying! I own lots of those trays. They are indestructible! Thanks for the super high quality products you sell in your store, Kevin!

[@pfirsch77]

The hack with the fork has two advantages: the fork and the plug-sized hole. The hole will decrease or eliminate transplant shock, which means the seedlings will recover quicker.

[@zoelevendal1514]

i was gifted some store bought basil, propagated and grew it. let them all go to seed and harvested a billion basil seeds. and now I've just planted a handful for the new growing season. endless basil for life

[@megancook68]

Garlic- you spoke about buying a head at the store and using it . I’ve been told that they are treated so that they do not grow green stems/roots.. I actually got my garlic from a garlic festival 😊. It looks completely different and larger..

[@megancook68]

@@petenewell9945 I don't know if they call it elephant garlic. but when I looked at the garlic in store, it was definitely smaller. I was also told not to use it b/c the garlic in store has been treated with something for it not to grow. I'm going to be reaching out to a MI grower and get a few mor garlic cloves to plant in some pots for over wintering, as I will be changing up my garden and adding more raised beds. I can't wait. right now IM trying to make my decision on either wood or metal . I have alot of space 25 x 5, 18 x 33x5 , 18 x 3, that is just along either fence line, I haven't even tapped into the middle area..

Oh the onion hack with green onions is one of my favorites! My family teased me for fishing all the little roots out of the compost and re planting. I now have a lot of green onion that I trim like tasty grass!

[@felishiadarling]

Growing up , my grandma always had a garden. At dinner time she’d hand us a bowl and say go outside and get your salad. We’d just pinch off a few leaves if lettuce, pull a carrot and a radish and some cherry tomatoes. Wash them in the house.

[@KatieSuma]

I work for a lawn fertilization company and I was just so happy to see that they weren't over seeding. like where you just throw grass seed across your lawn. that has a really bad germination rate. But when you said to put compost or mulch on top i was like okay this guy knows what's up

The basil hack is awesome! I have tried to grow it & always end up with bugs eating my plants.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

Spray bottle of water with clean tap water and a teeny dash of vinegar (just enough to smell it, not enough for the acids to eat away at the leaves), or soak a few oak leaves in the water for 3-4 days, then spritz, if you want to avoid using chemicals.

I did the trader joe's basil thing. I bought 3 containers and have given at least 3 plants away and every time I go to visit someone or they visit me, they get a sandwich baggie full of basil. The plants are STILL thriving. I have one in my mini greenhouse, like four in my garage, 3 had rooted in ground (I thought the first TJ container completely died, I tossed it on the ground, and then like 3 basil plants popped up. One's currently bent over but FLOWERING. They're unstoppable. Send help /j) But seriously, well worth the 12 dollars in plants to buy 3 of them. I pretty much always smell like basil and confuse/awe my relatives with them

[@tylerc7336]

It's actually a good idea to start bulbs in water first especially if you dont have alot of space in your yard, just in case you have one that doesn't sprout, you won't be sitting around waiting for it to pop out of the soil

[@tmlawson751]

that's why I did it that way -- before I even saw Kevin's overview of the tiktok hack. I noticed (with frustration) that the garlic bulbs I'd get at the store were almost always on their way to sprouting. So I started to just lean into it, and took around 40 cloves -- at first I tried to open them up to see which one was sprouting, and even slightly damaged (cut open but sprout left in tact and attached to clove) and peeled, they sprouted like crazy in the water --- I was on a sitjob and came home after a few days, and the garlic had gotten CRAZY rooted with the water, it was fairly scary initially. I also didn't want to waste time because there WERE a few (rare) garlic cloves that didn't root, but just rotted from exposure to water...

[@pamelamercado6902]

I just put my onions in water stick them in the refrigerator and let them grow occasionally I'll cut their tops off when I'm tired of that I throw them out into the garden and let them grow.

I grow watercress from the supermarket salad mixes the same method as the Basil shown here . I grow carrot tops just cut a slice off the very top of each carrot then stand on damp compost and the top grows. I add it to soups salad and rice . I cut the bottom inch off spring onions , green onions and stand them in clean water .They regrow rapidly and I cut them several times and let them regrow and cut again. I also do the lettuce the same as here. Celery also regrows or continues to grow after being cut . Radish tops are tasty too . I think of these as free food . I sit an onion in a glass of clean water root end in the glass of course and wait for the tops to grow .I use the tops in sauces.salads.sanwiches. omelette and stir fry or soup .it grows again and again

You should note that garlic needs cold stratification to produce bulbs. Grocery store garlic planted in warm soil won't give you a bulb, just an enlarged clove.

[@qbj]

@@Izzy-fr1zu Yes, it's not a great idea. It's better to just compost peels, where microbes and bugs break them down into accessible nutrients. Just steeping bananas in water doesn't release many nutrients, and the starch and sugar may attract fruit flies or gnats.

[@systematic101]

the toilet paper will biodegrade pretty fast so it's not really a negative. What I really like it that the paper keeps the seeds in place. That's by far the biggest plus. When it rains or you water new seeds they tend to float and group together.

so I've done the thing with the onion & I've actually found a way to actually strip it down to the inner bulb. 1)so I keep onions in the fridge [less cry for the eyes😂] also it'll help the roots 2)take off paper skins, 3)make a shallow cut down the 1 side 3½)then another on the opposite side, 4) then make another shallow circular cut around the base where the roots are, 5)slowly put pressure on one side & it should lift removing ½ a side of onion, 6) remove 1 layer at a time down to the desired bulb size, 6½) enjoy your onion in dinner😂 7)you can then place it in a shallow bowl with a little water & roots shall emerge or enlarge!🎉 8) transplant when ready 😊

So the thing about what you said with the onion is that most of the green onions sold in grocery stores are actually the over stock of regular onions that they don't have enough room to let bulb out but don't want to waste the seed, so it's really very much the same at that point. If you do happen to have true welsh/green onions those are perennial and will grow back in clumps every year and are a much better option for re-growing than a bulb in its second year. For the greens its great either way but if you do want the bulbs second year onions don't keep so well.

[@srshani]

i think they got the grass slury idea from commercial applications where they use it for putting in areas where its mostly soil like new construction projects, as that would also help to prevent the wind from blowing the seed away, but its not made of TP i think its something that breaks down faster. I bought some once upon a time & it worked great no TP mess

I have used that method for garlic, and have planted just cloves, and from my experience the pre rooting method gave poor results every time I have tried it.

I'm an angry beginner gardener who doesn't want to be here but the rising costs of food make it so I'm forced to grow things that are less affordable at the store. Things such as herbs and leafy greens (New Zealand here for reference) and some of our fresh produce can be notoriously expensive especially out of season and being on a little island. So here I am, not very interested at all doing hours and hours of research and getting really annoyed because everyone's advice varies and contradicts each other. I fucking HATE gardening so far but I'm only at my seedlings being a few weeks growth stage so hopefully some success when they're grown will make it more fun for me. ANYWAY I say all of this because I want to emphasise that for a subject I feel I've been forced to take and learn, for something that bores me to death some days, your channel is ACTUALLY interesting! You cadence, you info, the type of content you put out... *chefs kiss*. I can't explain exactly what it is about your channel but it's the only one that when a video pops up on my feed, I don't care if it's related to what I'm doing or something extra like this, I click on it often. Your channel is the one of the best man. Also can I just say... you're skin is beautiful and radiant! I only wish I could look that good. How many sacrifices does one have to make and to which gods to get skin like that? LMAO

Still love to get your trays in Australia

I think I will try the Onoin Guy's method with my favourite variety of onions, just to get the seeds, which have proven to be utterly unobtainable where I live.

Ok, everyone makes growing basil look so easy. Unfortunately my plant at home is giving me trouble because it seems to try to die every time i put it out in the garden. idk what it doesn't like out there, but i have to keep bringing it back inside after a week or two. Does basil not like a lot of direct sun? It's in the same conditions as all of my other plants, and they are all living their best lives right now, but not the basil plant. Thanks for the help. I love your work Kevin!

My basil likes sun but not a ton of heat. It can take some shade, tho, so maybe a spot that is not all day sun? Or a spot underneath another plant (like a tomato plant) where it will get some sun and some shade. :-)
