I don't have trouble with germination but regularly my seedlings grow for a short time and then begin to die across the flat. And my seedlings are always leggy. I'm cheap and don't buy the most expensive soils. Is this really the difference?
hi sherrie,compost comes in all shapes and sizes,what i like to do is break them down with sharp sand or perlite to give air and drainage,will mention in my next vid,over watering not enough light and dirty water from the butts is a big no no dampening off can still affect the germination in summer,plenty ov ventilation and a spray with camomile tea helps,cheap seeds will still grow but poor soils will have a poor start ,
@@geoffforman5201 Thanks so much for responding. " Poor soils will have a poor start" I need to chant that to myself when sowing seeds. I will be watching for the next video.
