I was looking into the high density planting for tomatoes, but how would you transplant the seedlings from the treys? Another guy was putting 20 tomatoes seeds in one cell. You wouldn't want to plant all of that together right? That sounds like a mess! But it also sounds like a delicate process trying to seperate the tender seedling roots of 20 entangled plants. I found the method in the book epic tomatoes by Craig Lahoullier and watched his video but nowhere does it explain transplanting. And his comments are turned off on the video. Can you help? I'd love to save the space next year!

Last time, I promise. So I transplanted my flowers and there were a couple issues. First, when I took them out a lot of the dirt stayed in the container and the roots were exposed. What is the best way to take them out? Another issue is that they are laying over on the ground, not perking up after 3 days. Also, I found out about hardening plants off and planting with sugar. Are either of those necessary for successful transplantation? Also, how long do they need to grow before transplanting?

I find inter planting a good idea. It does not work as well when doing a commercial set up as it makes it more difficult to harvest multiple different crops and is not as efficient, however I find it ideal for smaller scale. They do a similar method on larger scale by doing crop rotations from season to season.

Good idea about the interplanting. Doing more of that myself these days. Those cabbage loopers showed up and i just had to harvest everything and get it in the freezer before the loopers took over. Gonna be bold and start some kale now, hope those loopers got derailed by all the chard and spinach!

Transplanting is easy. However you got to go by your growing zone here in NJ we are 7a. Every other region is different so timing is important! Usually after mothers day. However this year the whole next week lows are in the low 40s so you don't want plants to bolt. Check the Old Farmers Almanac

That powdered product you use isnt sold here in NZ, but they sell another product which I think is similar. Its called RootBlast, so I might try that

Can we please get a more in depth video about transplanting seedlings, or is this really all there is to it?
