Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are CZcams, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s CZcams channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her CZcams channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

I am leggy 🦵 in the winter too. I find that laying under my grow lights in winter helps me with SAD.
Crazy. But my dad said it’s ok to be crazy as long as your happy.
If you could question 🙋♀️. How dangerous are indoor grow to human and pet eyes? Do I need sunblock ? Should I handout sunglasses when guest come over? 😎
People seem to think that because LED light look 👀 white or even warm that they won’t hurt you.
Other than a grow tent ⛺️ what might you suggest?
Going to get happy now 🌞 💡 🪴 in my phototropisme 😂
I NEED more indoor gardening videos please!
For anybody out there with a desk lamp kicking around unused, you can pick up an LED grow light bulb at Canadian Tire starting at $5.49 it's their NOMA brand. That was my first grow light, still using it. It's not going to grow a tomato plant but will definitely benefit for this purpose.
I must have missed a segment about this 'cracky method' so I will have to search it up to understand what I'm doing.
Thanks, Ashley!
Edit: I see it's the 'Kratky Method', now my concern is about the nutrients to put in the water, which apparently is really important.
awesome suggestion!
Awesome, thank you!!!
I’m really interested in growing my own veggies in my apartment disabled
Indoor gardening would be wicked, specifically for me. Indoor gardening zone 3 with limited space would be ideal lol
I grew tomato's carrots,beetroot and peas indoors on my southfacing windowsill 👍🏻
Nice! How far north are you?
@@GardeningInCanada I'm East England 🕊️👍🏻
Nice!
Wow that's awesome..you are my inspiration!
Yes, please do more videos about indoor gardening. I want to start an indoor garden to keep growing over the long winter.
Okay !
One of my goals this winter is to have indoor herbs and lettuce in addition to my micro greens. I brought in parsley, basil and chocolate mint in the fall and they are doing ok in dirt. I haven’t tried lettuce yet. Thanks for the tips about not buying head lettuce seed. Please do more of these indoor winter gardening videos. I don’t have instagram, so any follow-ups on CZcams are appreciated, too. Thanks!
Okay sounds good!
I brought in chocolate mint last year, took about a good month + to stop dying off and start growing again, then it had no issues at all outgrowing the hanging basket and with trails down to the floor. In an unheated porch, morning sun, east facing window.
Basel and Pepermint grow nice on my window, I have a 3 year old pepermint plant in my window I trim it often and repot once a year. I use a rectangle pot 2.5 gallons the large amount of dirt helps the plant to not dry out if I forget to water it, my plants in small pots often die from lack of moisture. try over winter your pepper plants on window sill, dig up mature plants in fall repot with new dirt aggressivly trim branches and remove all big leaves treat the stick plant for pests and put in the window sill and replant outdoors in spring after last frost, beware of pests so trim lots and treat with neem oil / soap mix when bring them indoors as fall season
is ending. you must treat for pests even if no signs are there, bringing pests indoors is a disaster, be proactive and if you find pests immediatly quarentine or destroy the plant to save all the other plants no mercy,
You’re always sooo in tune with my plant pondering. I am considering just this exact project. (I’m still on the ledge 😂) Thanks again!
Haha all puns attended
Never knew it was called the cracky method. Did I hear that right? Learn something new every day! I'll go with small soil pots. I'll have to get creative, both with window ledge and wire shelving with grow lights, because my male cat is a climber and a plant eater. It'll take heavy duty infrastructure to do indoor gardening with him around. Maybe prison bars on the windows, and a chain link dog run cage (with top) for the shelving. He keeps me on my toes. My sweet little Luna is happy just to watch me. I appreciate you naming the plants that can grow on ledges. Thanks Ashley!
Haha yes. Kratky is how Alot of people say it
@@GardeningInCanada Ohhhh....oops Kratky it is!
Missing this premiere will teach me not to keep my phone under my pillow. Will watch later today.
❤️❤️❤️
I started my tomatoes on a bay window last year best tomato grow year ever all my neighbors were mad at me they grew nothing
I will take as many windowsill growing vids as you want to make. I appreciate you pointing out why my germination may have been awful. My miners lettuce is taking off but everything else has been resistant.
Got lettuce growing and various sprouts. I just started tulsi basil. Love this content.
Ooo have you tried tulsi basil before
No. This is the first time trying to grow it. I’ve grown lots of basil so thinking it will be ok. Tulsi is my new favourite tea and health benefits are amazing.
Nice! I have to look into it
I was searching for this topic and voila! there you are with a video covering it exactly 💯😘
Best of health, you are awesome, love the informative and science-based topics!
Congratulations on your new course. 💚 Yay. Thanks for the great videos
Thank you!
Well done! I appreciate learning from you.
Anytime!
As an exception, I 'managed' to grow a tomatoplant inside during fall/winter. It was at 52.3 N latitude. Only available light was from a floor to ceiling window. Ok, i even did get some tomatoes (small yellow) after handpollinating, but i would not say it was worth it. (Used kratky).Managed to successfully grow lettuce inside as far north as 60 degrees latitude, on a window sil. (For reference: that's latitude of St Petersburg or Fort Smith NWT).
Herbs like Thyme easily overwinter/grow inside at 52.3 N
That is awesome!
Thanks for this video. You just got rid of SO much trial and error on my end. Thank you so much!
Oh yeah! I forgot to buy sprout seed mix & jar tops. Had my eye on that for a while, happy to hear it's worth it. Thanks for the reminder, cheers!
Yea! I did a video on it if you need any ideas/help
I grew romaine on my balcony last summer and the balcony had a roof and southern exposure. I’m going to do it again cause it’s easy to water there and I can stay out of the blasting sunlight! And this year I WILL recognize when it is starting to bolt! (Or I will do lose leaf)
I love these! Thanks!
Glad you like them!
You are amazing! I was just wondering this.
Love when videos line up like that
I've taken the plastic containers I had left over from buying cookies at my grocery store deli, cut the tops off and placed plants in solo cups in those on a window ledge. By cutting drainage slits in the cups and I could then water the plants though subirrigation. I just had to refill it every few days to a week.
I managed to grow garlic this way, but living in Florida I was unable to get it to bulb. I still want to revisit trying to get garlic bulbs this way using a different type of garlic.
I wondered about using those grow pods..great information. Thanks for the homework teacher😄
Love that
Its possible to grow smaller peppers 🌶 and cilantro , mint, recao, basil, oregano, succulents etc in a southfacing window during winter. Then again my window panels are huge lol
Haha that would do it?
Definitely interested in indoor food gardening!
Noted!
Like what you have to say. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome!
Thank you for all you contribute to the gardening community. I intend on starting indoor gardening but I'm still undevided whether to go hydroponic or Soil. I have a large unused space in the basement and I can setup shelving system with fluorescent tube lights. My priority in to grow fresh salad greens and potentially something like a baby book Choy.
I’ll show you all the options and you can go forward from there. It’s going to come down to what you are most comfortable with. If you like one more then the other go with that and see how I’d does indoors
Perfect. You are amazing 🤗
I live in the Northwoods of the US, so I would love more videos like these! Thanks😊 I’m not on instagram, though.
Okay!
Enjoyed this video...now feeling adventurous.
Do it! You won’t regret it
I love it; kratky rocks!
I started an indoor garden of parsley, basil, carrots, and oregano. I just have a basic LED shop-light. It sure is bright though. So far things are looking okay but I am unsure if the LED light is adequate.
Is anything flipping over?
@@GardeningInCanada Everything is growing straight up and appears strong.
Thanks for sharing. I'd love any indoor gardening videos bc there's a lot of CZcamsrs selling hopium. I've tried to grow Swiss chard under two different grow lights and they both became leggy.
Ooo okay! I’ll do a light specific video
Thank you for sharing. I’m new to Fort Myers Florida and trying to learn what grows best here as far as herbs and fruit. Coming from Pennsylvania. I know I have a lot more options here trying to determine if it’s best to start from plants or seed. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
I would like to learn more from you about growing indoor with lights. I currently grow indoor and I am interested in knowing about the timing of switching from veg to bloom, what plants would need this and the effects of switching from 18 hours of light down to 12 hours of light if I have plants that dont need the switch to produce in the same tent. Thanks for the awesome info, never dull.
Wonderful!! Would love to hear how to have successful sprouts- what temperature do we need? Mine tend to get moldy before I can use them. Also, what is the soil amendment to add to potting soil to grow indoors? Can I use one of the spinning towers with soil indoors if near a southern window? We are 30 miles from the BC Canada border- really appreciate your channel!
Oh interesting! Okay. I can do that I leave mine in a cupboard until the sprout and rinse twice daily.
@@GardeningInCanada how long will they keep? Curious after they sprout have quickly we'll have to consume them. Thanks
Good evening from Australia

I HAVE MOVED TO AN APARTMENT AND IT'S ENCLOSED BALCONY WITH WINDOWS DO YOU THINK MY SWEET PEPPERS I PLANTED THEM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD TO MOVE TO ENCLOSED BALCONY AND YES I AM IN CANADA ZONE 5B- THANKS SORRY SUCH A LONG QUESTION
Which lettuce varieties did you say..that was most interesting part but didnt hear
Should the bottle be covered so the light doesn’t cause algae growth? Also change water or top up and one more lol, oxygen needs? 🙏🏼
I have a question..!..My neighbor has some Jerusalem artichokes her son gave her...and wa ts to give me some...in Quebec our soil is half frozen...Can we still plant them now..or wait until spring...if in spring, can they keep well in fridge in a brown paper bag...or outside fridge in a brown paper bag in a cool room...!! Thanks!!😁
I would wait until spring. They won’t like that extreme cold
@@GardeningInCanada thank you so much..!
Who's ready?
Dose UV blocking glass window effect the plants grow versus none UV blocking?
No that doesn’t effect anything. Plants don’t need UV to grow oddly enough
@@GardeningInCanada I read some articles on how UV light can be beneficial to plants. Don't know if the articles are wrong. This could be a good topic for a video. 😉
Watched it all …. What plants ??????))))))))
Yes, need to grow more food in winter coz apparantly they are putting mrna in veggies and meat soon! A lot of homesteaders on youtube are concerned. I am too!
Torturing plants. Is there any serious activists to protect plants rights and protecting them against exploitation and unnatural environments? This seems far from the genetically optimal Phenotype...
Is this satire?
I thought humans had dominion over plants 🪴and animals. This does mean we are held responsible for their well-being. I see nothing wrong with this video since it is so informative.
Say JK right now lol
I am very interested to learn more about indoor gardening 🫒
Perfect
