@grimes_and_co_homestead: In this video, I walk through how I plant using square foot spacing and simple tools. I use fiberglass stakes to create a grid layout in my beds, which keeps everything organized and properly spaced. Then I check each transplant cell—many times there are multiple seedlings in one cell. By carefully separating them, I can double my plant count without buying more. From there, I use a hori hori knife to make quick planting holes and get everything in the ground efficiently. If you’re starting a garden, focus on systems that save time and money. You don’t need fancy tools—you just need a plan. Make sure to screenshot the planting guide included in the video. ⸻ Science Fact: Seedlings grown in the same cell compete for light, causing them to stretch upward (phototropism). If separated early, each plant can develop its own root system and access nutrients more efficiently, leading to healthier growth and higher yields. ⸻ #GrimesAndCoHomestead #SquareFootGardening #GardenTips #GrowYourOwnFood #BudgetGardening
