Episode 522 – Starting Seeds on a Budget and Better
Seed starting season is upon on and today I will talk you through how we plan for and start seeds at the Holler Homestead while also providing guidance for how to do this when you do not have a bad-assed kratky seed-starting setup. Don’t let the lack of infrastructure stop you from getting your seedlings going.
