I’m a greenhouse member and I have been very impressed by the planning software and by how quickly staff get back to me with answers to my questions and how quickly new features were added that I requested! The welcome kit and store discount were a great bonus! <br>Thank you Kevin and the whole Epic Team!

Accidentally discovered that a dryer is a good "heat mat" lol...one year my seeds sprouted so nicely while doing laundry 😂

I’m from South Minneapolis, Zone 4b. Definitely getting tired of winter, this one in particular with everything going on. I started onions, leeks, and alpine strawberries though and some have sprouted already! It’s funny how having little green things around in winter can create a renewed sense of optimism and excitement, I love it!

Dude Kevin you just saved so many seedlings. When my sproutlings get leggy and crack under their own weight, it's just devastating 😖 to see. <br>Now i will nurture those little buddies. Great tip

I've found that basic Walmart LED shop lights work nicely for seed starting. Obviously I need to keep moving them to keep them within the required 2 - 3" of my seedlings. But that's easy enough, since they're hung on chains and can be raised or lowered as needed.

Eric my brother I really appreciate you. As a zone 5-er, the info has been invaluable but your presentation and editing is very strong too. That shot of Jaques filling up the planters using the wheelbarrow, in one graceful sweep, very cool

Kevin, my man, I love your work! Something about the way you in particular explain things really hits for me. <br>This is one of my favorite channels!<br>Keep up the good work, you're nailing it!

The one thing that literally doubled the size of my seedlings is buying new lights. I did not realize how old my lights were and after replacing them I am not struggling with weak seedlings anymore. I might have to actually adjust my seed starting schedule because now some plants might get too big lol

If you aren't able to bottom water, use a Turkey Baster! You can control exactly where you want the water to go and how much!
