It's February so let's talk about seeds! Collecting, drying, storing and saving, plus some seeds to avoid and the best seed compost. Everyone is talking about seeds right now and I'm certainly thinking about mine. In this episode I explain why seeds are saved from one year to the next and I cover the basics of how to store your seeds. Plus I talk about tricky seeds that need special conditions to germinate (and which are possibly best avoided if you're a novice). Finally I talk about how I make my own seed compost (and potting on compost) so that my seeds have the best possible start whilst not costing a fortune either. In this episode, I’m diving into how I store seeds for the best germination rates. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why saving seeds saves money✅ My DO's and DON'Ts for storing and saving seeds ✅ The importance of labelling seeds correctly ✅ Why I make my own seed compost (and how you can too)✅ Seeds to avoid if you're new to sowing 🌻 Subscribe &amp; Stay Connected!If you like what you hear, please subscribe so you never miss an episode.
