This short tutorial will give you some great information to give your seeds the best possible start. There is a lot to take care of when planting seeds – find out how to create the right conditions for germination, how to look after your seedlings and how to prepare them for being planted out in the garden. Anyone who is new to gardening can learn a lot here and it’s a useful reference guide for more experienced gardeners too!

February through to April is the time for starting most of your seeds for this year’s vegetable and flower crops. In many temperate areas, the ground outside is beginning to warm up but there is still a risk of frost that could kill off young seedlings – starting them off under cover, either in a greenhouse, cold frame or even on a bright window sill is a good way to give them a head start before planting out in April to June.

One common mistake that people make is to grow too many seedlings without having enough space to plant them out. This needn’t be a problem (as long as they receive enough light to grow without becoming “leggy” and weak) because surplus seedlings can be exchanged or shared with other gardeners – it will help to boost the community spirit in your area!

Sowing times will vary from year to year according to the weather patterns but a seed sowing calendar will help you to get the timing right in a average year. Please see the resources below for online calendars.

A lot of the seed compost you find in the stores is made from peat, it is still the most common component of commercial composts. There are good alternatives available that won’t cause the damage to rare wildlife habitats that peat extraction does – these are by-products of other industries and include coir (from coconut fibre), composted bark and wood fibres – be sure to look out for them!

Many seeds can be saved from your vegetable crops for future planting, although you need to make sure that they are not F1 varieties as these will not grow true to the original (or in some cases won’t grow at all). “Heritage” or “heirloom” varieties are the best for saving each year and are commonly available online – please see our growing List Of Heirloom Seed Suppliers.

There are two advantages to saving seeds – firstly, you won’t need to buy new seed every year and secondly, many plants will adapt to your local growing conditions so each year the quality will improve!

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.
