March 13, 2019So confused about grow lights – ugh. Recommendations?

March 14, 2019Great question on the grow lights! Here’s a quick training video about grow lights that I did for our microgreens course: https://borntogrow.net/14-day-microgreens-challenge/step-3-lighting/
The same principles apply for starting starts. Basically the cheapest way to go is to get an LED or Fluorescent light that can be hung above your plants. Then make sure to hang it within 2-4 inches from the tops of your plants as they grow.
Other options are getting more expensive grow lights but the above is the simplest and easiest way to go!

February 5, 2022Are Seeds of Change now GMO seeds since they were acquired by Mars, inc. in 1995 who claims on their website: “We firmly believe genetically modified/engineered ingredients are safe.”?

July 1, 2022Thank you for sharing this great tool! I am so excited to start the garden in the spring. I am able to harvest year round where I live. I didn’t pay to much attention last winter then on New Years Day I checked in one garden bed and had 50 large tomatoes ready for the picking! And that was on one plant!

December 20, 2022Id like to thank you for the website, and all the information. Ive tried to keep a garden in the past, but didnt have the best success because I didnt have a great plan. This gives me a fantastic starting point, but also carries through to the end of the season.

December 30, 2022Hi – I’m looking for the diagram that you used in your recent webinar that showed the crop rotation order from year to year. Is it in the resources section somewhere? Thanks.

January 12, 2023I’m a flower farmer and even with flowers, you need to rotate crops. What I do is move my beds of say, xyz over 1 row every year. So xyz was in bed 1 year 1, xyz gets moved to bed 2 year 2 etc. So it’ll take them a few years to get back to the same spot they started. Super important with certain flowers like Sunflowers.
does that help?
