Key insights about video This Bottoms Up Gardening Technique Will Save You Loads Of Time When Starting Your Plants From Seed!

🌱 Bottom-up watering, using the water wicking strategy, can save you hours in the garden and provide the perfect amount of moisture to your seedling plants.

✅ Streamlining operations and cutting back on time investment allows us to enjoy the gardening process more and stay motivated.

🔝 Overhead watering takes a lot of time, especially when you have multiple seed trays, but with bottom-up watering, you just need to fill the bottom reservoir with water and let the seedlings wick it up.

⏳ It takes a few minutes for the seedlings to absorb the water, but you can expedite the process by doing some overhead watering to increase the speed of water absorption.

🚿 Adding a little bit of nutrient to the water when bottom-up watering can give your little seedlings a boost of added nutrition.

🌱 If your seedling media repels water when overhead watering, you can add a couple of drops of plant-powered soap to help the moisture distribute evenly throughout each cell.

⚡️ Making your own seedling mix can prevent repelling issues, and if you want to learn how to make one, there is a link provided.

🌱 Bottom-up water wicking works well not only for seedling trays but also for using sandbags as planter pots. Just add water to the bottom container and watch it absorb into the pots.
