11 Dumbest Seed Starting Mistakes Anyone Can Make
03.05.2024 - 14:11 / balconygardenweb.com / Suyash
To enhance the chances of plants sprouting, you need to ensure you follow the right set of rules to roll the green dices in your favour. These are some of the dumbest seed starting mistakes people do without realizing their consequences.
People think that watering seeds too much will take care of them or moisting the growing medium everyday is the best way to speed up the germinating process. Well, this is not true!
Too much water can cause rot and too little water will eliminate the chances of germination completely.
When it comes to planting seeds, you simply don’t push them as deep as you desire! Sowing them too deep or too shallow will negatively impact their ability to germinate.
Always go through the seed packet to know the right planting depth or refer the internet to know the right depth for the specific plant seed.
Heavy garden soil for growing seeds is a big NO! Simply go for good quality seed starting mixes available in the market.
Every seed has a specific temperature requirement and they germinate best in that range. Too hot, or too cold atmosphere can prevent sprouting.
For best results, use heat mats and avoid placing the seeds near a window. Also, check the range on the seed packet or refer the internet.
If you have sown the seeds indoors, then it is extremely important that you follow the process of acclimatization, meaning, gradually introducing seedlings to outdoor conditions over a week to prevent wilting or death of plants.
Some seeds do well in cold climate and some do well in the warm atmosphere. Sowing them at any time of the year in any climate will eliminate the chances of germination and seedling survival.

Opinion: To Make a Real Impact on Climate Change, We Must Move Beyond the Carbon Footprint
As a researcher of urban agriculture, I was shocked to see a recent news article bearing the headline “Food from urban agriculture has a carbon footprint six times larger than conventional produce, study shows.” I had spent five years researching and publishing peer-reviewed articles and book chapters about urban agriculture during my Ph.D. with the Berkeley Food Institute, and this conclusion seemed to fly in the face of all that I’d read. How could this be?
