#SeedStarting Indoors From Start To Finish

"We have all been waiting for this moment, some of us much longer than others! Nonetheless, here at MIgardener, we are very excited to give you our finest seed starting tips. These tips will help you prepare your best crop to date!

"Starting from seeds is the most cost-effective way to garden. If this is your first year starting from seed, a few one-time purchases will need to be made on seed starting materials. Reusable starting containers, lights, and shelves may be necessary, depending on the setup you are going for. Purchasing seeds gives you the opportunity for multiple plants per packet, where a starter plant will only give you one season of harvest. Seeds can also be saved for multiple years, and if you buy heirloom varieties, you can harvest new seeds from your plants each season. If you are successful with your seed starting but run out of room in the garden, selling leftover plant starts is a great way to make some money back!

"A cost-effective seed starting mix can be found here; it is much handier to make your own seed starting mix than to buy it from a store.

"The perfect seed starting medium can be found in stores or made at home. Making your own mix at home will be the most cost-efficient way to start. Upfront, the ingredients may seem more expensive, but they will last longer over time. Peat moss [NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE OF SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES] or coco coir, perlite, and vermiculite are the three best ingredients to add to an at-home mix. Sift them together to create the best texture. To learn how to mix your own seed starter, check out this video [linked below]."
