SEEDS ARE CHEAP

How to save money while growing your own food. People say seeds are expensive. Here is how I grow lots of food and plants while on a budget. Let's compare the cost of buying seed packets to buying actual microgreen seeds in bulk.

I was looking at saving $10 a month to buy my seeds in bulk. With $120 I can buy 6 varieties, one pound of each. For me alone $.25 cents at the dollar store and sometimes less was fine. But now that I want to try micro greens your math works out much better. Thanks for sharing. I am about to harvest my first Swiss chard. It’s such an amazing feeling.

[@southerncomfort971]

Absolutely awesome video! It is mine blowing how informative you are to the rest of us. You were sent from the heavens, not even in schools are they this informative without having to pay extra. I am so green even at my mature age to growing, both Hydroponically or regular dirt growing in beds. Spent most of my adult years working for a living and supporting my family, Now in my later years, I find myself exploring hobbies, long desired and had no time to enjoy. Microgreens seemed to be so foolish when you pay $2 and $3 dollars a pack, But this will change not only what I eat but how I grow them to eat. Thank you so very much and please keep on teaching.

[@ryanhopps7966]

They just had an awesome sale on a bunch of micro greens, may still be going on. A lot of mustard varieties, arugula, etc.

[@ausfoodgarden]

Yep, it's way better to buy bigger packs for microgreens. Even better if you have the space is to put a few plants in the garden and let them go to seed. My mixed brassica and lettuce micro and mini greens are all from free saved seed. Great video Mike.

[@Plzunitewtruth2]

Yes if in fall you keep some set aside. I love buying seeds from others little packets are cute from some folks.

[@famlauriek7353]

Definitely a great idea to buy in bulk for micro greens, yummy! Thank you for explaining!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇺🇸

[@rmm9676]

Please discuss "Seed Storage" based on your experience. If already covered, please give a link. Thanks.

[@user-px2sn8pr5t]

In Canada buying in little packs is not good for micro greens. better to buy 1-5 kg from mum's./ they can ship to usa as well. for somethings saving your own seeds is good

[@rmojo23]

I just purchased a larg bag of black oil sunflower seeds(bird food) and am going to try growing!

[@Eller677]

Love your price vs weight comparison. Thank you! I also cued up Greener Harvest Seeds to give them a try.

[@cindyharrison4191]

Great advice 👍 thanks from the UK 🇬🇧

[@CindyPurses]

You always make so much sense. Thank you, Mike!!!

[@fatinahill2789]

OMG such valuable information you just shared...Love you...Thank you!!!

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Mike.

[@Love2Travel817]

Thank you my favorite herb Cilantro ❤

[@user-px2sn8pr5t]

I appreciate your answering my questions.

[@chimb1912]

This is so helpful!!

[@chooseanamazinglife]

I am soooo glad I found this video! Thank you. Can you tell us how long the seeds last? Do they go bad?

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Depends on the seed. Some last a long while but the germination rate drops.

[@nancytharp8213]

Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏝 🏖

[@codeine2001]

I'm sooooo greatfull for all you're doing to help us to learn. Thx a lot Mike ❤

[@Schwab.travis]

What about growing plants to harvest your own seeds?

[@KeepOnGrowin]

If you like.

[@wsams]

Some grocery stores have sprouting seeds that are in the bulk section.

[@hopeheavenonplanetearth1417]

Yes, but be sure to check the expiration date. I bought some at Rollin Oats and never thought to check. They were expired, but still sprouted. They probably would have given a discount 👍

[@beckdg]

This needs to go into the course. 👍

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Good idea, I will add the video

[@beckdg]

@@KeepOnGrowin You rock, brother Mike. 🤘

[@whatsmamadoing3188]

You are being shadow banned. You haven’t shown up in my feed in a long time. Glad to see you today. Forgot your name so I clicked the button today to be notified of new post. Thank you Mike for this excellent video. I’m trying to help my husband with his failing health.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Yeah, I will always be chugging along. FB too, dropped my traffic from a million followers down to almost nothing, lol. As long as I can still help some people, I am here.

[@leannekenyoung]

@@KeepOnGrowinso true you were totally dropped from my feed and I wasn’t getting notifications any more. Glad to see you are still growing and changing the world!!! I didn’t even know there was such a thing as microgreens or seeds that you can purchase in bulk until I found your channel! Today I showed my two year old granddaughter how to dig a hole and plant a potato and we also dug a few trenches and planted some peas and some carrot seeds. After we covered each up we both told the seeds what to do …GROW!! 😂❤️🥰🙏🏻🍁🇨🇦

[@KeepOnGrowin]

@@leannekenyoung Thank you! You have been around a while. Keep doing what you do, that's awesome. If we are trying to do good, it's tough to keep us down. Keep on Growin'!

[@Love2Travel817]

Mike what brand of cilantro seeds do you recommend? I need a lot of it 😂😂

[@kkl8631]

Thanks for the information! Very interesting.

[@4367plu]

Thank you for the great information

[@soblezz]

You’re right🥰

[@nichreyn]

I'm planning on getting started soon, and I'm wondering where you purchase your nutrient solutions. Are there a variety of blends for different plants, or is there a well-rounded product that you can use for most anything. I appreciate the advice on seeds. I'll be ordering soon.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

For greens, right now I am just using General Hydroponics MaxiGro.

[@gloriaelliott7872]

Hey Mike 🎉 what is the name of the seed company you were speaking of to get the big bag of seeds.❤🎉

[@KeepOnGrowin]

The one in the video is Greener Harvest Seeds

[@johnkandee]

Thanks!

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Thank you very much! It is greatly appreciated!

[@IAMGiftbearer]

If you want to grow plants to full term this way would you need a gallon jug?

[@KeepOnGrowin]

The bigger, the better

[@nmccutcheon2243]

I’ve been all over the internet looking for spinach seeds for sprouting. Closest I could get was pre sprouting seeds in water/peroxide mix on paper towels, then placing the sprouted seed in rock wool for growing hydroponically. Do you have any advice on this?

[@KeepOnGrowin]

sorry, I don't do spinach

[@nona104]

I like to buy the non-gmo seed. I know there’s a price difference between conventional seed and non-gmo seed.

[@leannekenyoung]

Actually something i discovered all seeds sold to regular folks are non-gmo only commercial seeds can be gmo and aren’t available to the general public.

[@lovealwaysmom]

How long do seeds last? For unused seeds, are there any storage requirements?

[@ZaynneThaWook]

They can theoretically last decades if stored cool dark dry place. However, germination rate decreases over time. I would say most seeds you can keep 2-3 years after the expiration date on the packet

[@lovealwaysmom]

@@ZaynneThaWook TY. How do I find out the germation rates? Would they be in the description information on the packages and/or their websites?

[@ZaynneThaWook]

@@lovealwaysmom I would say don’t worry too much on the specific germination rates. Just look for seeds that maybe have good reviews or recommendations. And if you’re using good seed but having low germination rates it’s most likely something you’re doing wrong

[@lovealwaysmom]

@@ZaynneThaWook TY

[@carolynstrong6804]

2-3 years shelf, in freezer, stored 10 years

[@margiemurray2147]

Do you and your family consume all those microgreens? That's a lot of food that you're growing😊

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Grow what "you" need.

[@sallynedd4577]

In Trinidad and Tobago those seed packets are between $17 to $20

[@KeepOnGrowin]

woah!
