This year I’m growing close to 40 tomato plants (and starting 148!), and instead of buying expensive nursery starts, I’m starting every single one from seed. In this video, I’m showing three different ways I’ve started tomatoes: My tried-and-true red cup method Soil blocking And the new seed starting trays from Vego Garden I reached out to Vego Garden to test their trays because I wanted something durable and long-lasting — not the flimsy trays that crack, warp, and make watering frustrating. In this video, I share my honest first impressions, demonstrate how the built-in watering reservoir works, and compare them to both budget trays and my traditional cup method. We’ll talk about: Why tomatoes are the backbone of our garden How planting depth affects root strength Air pruning and why it matters Why starting seeds indoors is essential in Zone 6 Using heat mats to improve germination How to build a stronger root system before transplanting Starting seeds indoors is an investment up front, but it allows us to extend our growing season and grow hundreds of dollars worth of food for just pennies per plant. I’ll be sharing updates as these three methods grow so we can see if there’s a noticeable difference by transplant time. Have you started your tomatoes yet? What’s your favorite method? And as always, don’t be afraid to get a little dirt under your fingernails so you can turn that dirt into dinner. 🍅🌱 Shop GreenStalk Planters https://rstr.co/greenstalkgarden/provident.
