Add This ONE Thing to Your Seed Starting Mix for 92% Longer Roots

John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ shares how to supercharge your seed starting mix with this one organic ingredient to boost germination, plant growth, and root development.

In this episode, John explains how adding high-quality worm castings to your seed starting mix can increase your plant growth by up to 90%. Drawing from a study by the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Experiment Station, he demonstrates how a simple 50:50 mix of seed starting mix and worm castings can lead to incredible results.
You will learn why John recommends Jiffy seed starting mix for its affordability and availability and how to combine it with worm castings for the best outcome. John also shares insights into selecting the best worm castings and why all worm castings are not created equal.

You will discover the science-backed benefits of worm castings, including increased germination rates (up to 92%), improved seedling growth (up to 72%), and enhanced root development (nearly double in size). These improvements lead to healthier plants with better drought tolerance and higher yields.

John offers practical tips for implementing this strategy in your garden, including sourcing seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, known for their unique and high-quality seed offerings.
By the end of this episode, you will be equipped with the knowledge to transform your seed-starting process and grow healthier, more productive plants in your garden this season.
