Great vidio, to the point. We've watched a couple of other channels methods that seem as though they would work but not as clear in direction as yours. We've snuck a peek at your library and there's at least a dozen or more that will be watched. We were also impressed when we saw in this video, that 2 years later you are still responding to comments, and not just a few but all of them. Full watch, thumbs up, subbed. TYFS, Mark n Rosa

I grew petunias from seed over the last few years and they grew fine but when I put them in hanging baskets they died after about a month.I also bought some and the same thing happened.Would you have any idea why this would happen.
@LearnHow23 жыл бұрын
Hi Anthony. Hanging baskets dry out very quickly as there is not much soil depth so you have to water regularly (I do mine every evening)- give them a good soaking. Secondly the soil quickly runs out of nutrients so you need to give it plant food every couple of weeks. Third - if the basket is exposed to full sun each day then the plants can quickly get scorched so partial sun/shade is best. Good luck with your growing and keep safe.

@@LearnHow2 I grew the petunias in used compost so I am wondering is this why they may have died.Could there be disease in the compost that effects them and not the other plants in the baskets. Regards Anthony
@LearnHow23 жыл бұрын
@@anthonydoherty8840 Never re-use compost for growing - as you say disease can build up in it and attack new plants. Also it will be very low in nutrients so plenty of plant food would be required. I spread my used compost around my garden on top of the flower beds.

The first thing you should do is mix the seeds with at least a liter of dirt I always use peat moss The same thing with carrots or any other super fine see it allows you to space them nice and evenly

@LearnHow22 жыл бұрын
Hi Percy. The seeds need light (but not direct sunlight) to germinate. Do not cover with soil but place seeds on the soil surface. For those that germinate and die I can only offer general advice which is usually one of three things 1) too much or too little water, 2) too much or little heat 3) not enough light. Best wishes and keep safe.
