When to and How to Bottom Water Your Vegetable Plants/Seedlings/Seeds
in Your Seed Starting Trays
I get asked all the time... When should I water my vegetable seed starts or How often should I water my transplants or How do I know I need to water my indoor seedlings? All very good questions.

| Bottom Water Vegetable Seed Starts - TRG 2015 |
So... I made a vegetable garden video that focuses only on watering your plants from the bottom. A practice I have been doing for 10-15 years. The reason I water my plants from the bottom is that it saves me a ton of time and it really prevents the spread of disease.
If you water from the top, you are wetting the leaves of your plant, splashing starting mix around and the stream of water might knock seeds out of the tray or even damage fragile seedling. Oh... and I don't use humidity domes. I find 99% of seeds don't need them and they create a humid environment that fungi love to grow in. I really recommend bottom watering. It is easy and it makes sense.
Good Luck with Your Garden,
