[mrshappy2007]

try collecting rain water with any kind of container it will help you use less tap water. hope this helps and you have a nice show i enjoy watching, and learning.

Putting a small air pump and air stone into yur water supply will accelerate the evaporation process.

i want to plant my seed in you, gardengirl?

[iscavengersam]

Hey Garden Girl, how long does that tap water have to sit before it's okay to use for the organic plant watering?

[xteasty]

@iscavengersam you mean from residual pesticides? not really enough to be a factor since most tap/irrigation water has some. in other words, it's not really an 'organic' issue so much as a keep-plants-happy issue.

the water has fluoride, which doesn't really come out, but also chlorine, which does gas out after a couple days. incidentally, you can do this if you want to drink tap water without that chlorine off taste.

Cuting the root may also stimulate the seedling to grow a denser root system instead of having less long root.

[timw421]

Why do you cut the tips of the Roots? I though we shouldnt molest the roots at all?!

[diemyr]

it forces the plants to make more smaller roots that require less "food & water" without harming the plant; its common practice in bonzai culture.

[GoddessSkyeBlu]

thanks so much for the wonderful videos. I think I'm going to start another indoor garden with more than just herbs:-)

[keldowg]

why wouldn't you just plant the seeds directly in there own little pots? Thanks:)

[katiatomsk]

Why did she cut the roots? I have never heard of that.

[FancyPantsElitist]

I don't know where she got that idea. That makes no sense to me either.

[wasearcher]

Those little roots are easily damaged during transplanting, so trimming them helps the plant to grow new roots and settle into the new pot.

[Lumpia911]

pretty dang cool, i think you've inspired me... oh wait i've been growing my own garden too. good stuff

[kwal57]

why do you trim the roots?

[wgseagal]

gets addictive isnt it after you plant alot you cant stop you want more before you know some day you will have a warehouse the size of walmart filled with wonderful veggies.

[wgseagal]

[ElveeKaye]
