Quality Growing Media
The growing of quality plants depend on a number of factors of which the selection of the growing media, potting and watering techniques are absolute key to success. Compared to soil, soil-less growing media excel in the amount of air it makes available to the roots which makes it ideal for indoor seed starting. In this 3 article series we will look at requirements to a quality growing media, how to pot to ensure maximum water and air available, and finally how to water the plants.

Quality Watering Techniques
Selection of a quality growing media and good potting techniques are the backbone in the production of quality bedding plants. What may not be so obvious, however, is that the why a growing media is watered can have profound influences on the final result. That plants need water to survive may not be a big surprise, but how to water, and how to avoid overwatering are techniques which must be learned. If you are not familiar with physical properties of water, such as cohesion, adhersion, and capillary action then this article is for you.

Starting with Seeds, part 1
Starting seeds indoors yourself is a very exiting proposition and everyone can do it. Contrary to common belief it is not hard at all and you do not need any special equipment, other than what you can buy at a local garden center and a home improvement store. In the long run it will be cheaper to grow your own flowers or vegetables, and you can even try cultivars which are not readily available at garden centers. But this is really not the reason why I recommend that you try seed starting. Starting plants from seed is a fantastic experience nobody should be without, it is inexpensive and easy to try, and you will become a much better gardener from growing your own transplants first. It is the best plant learning experience you will have. January is an excellent time to buy the few items you do need.
