Propagation 3 first sowings under cover and growing sturdy seedlings

4th March 2020, I show results of speeding germination by giving warmth, even in darker parts of a house. You also see my hotbed of fresh manure in the greenhouse.
Some vegetables are multisown in modules, others are sown in trays to prick out. I use module trays rather than blockers, another option. I show and describe different composts ("potting soil") for propagation, including homemade.
If you don't have a garden structure with full daylight, an option is to buy grow lights for raising plants in the house.
My sowing timeline has the best times through a whole year, to sow each different vegetable.
Module trays from Containerwise include smaller-celled 77's, which I should have mentioned

In my online Course 2, three of the 18 lessons are about propagation, with more videos

Here on You Tube are two more propagation videos: from April 2018
and from February 2019
