best growing hacks I know: set up a worm bin, then you have two options.
1) toss the seeds you are interesting in growing, make sure to be careful if you need to shift the bedding so you don't break the seedling (if the seeds fall deeper in over time you will probably have stretched seedling. I've gotten tomatoes, cantaloupes, mandarins, avocados, and mangos sprout fairly hassle free this way.
2) good for several tubers (onion, garlic, spring onion, beets, potatoes) toss them in and they will start to grow roots and new leaves. I've had quartered spring onions and beets regrow, as well as halved potatoes and onions, or slightly mushed garlic. In all cases they were old, dry and on the process of going bad so they were intended as food for the worms.
Don't worry about having to get them out quickly so the worms don't get at them, the worms aren't interested on live roots and plants. The main potential issue are stretched seedlings.

The nails in the soil don't make the plant grow what they are doing is making a earth battery two different metals separated by soil will make a positive and negative up to 1. 5 volts depending on soil type if you take multiple nails tie wire to them just like a battery is wired in parallel take copper tape put two strips on the rim of the pot one set of nails go to one strip of tape the other side of nails go to the other strip of tape and when a slug crawls across them and touches both strips it will get electrocuted not enough to kill it but to deter it and it does work against slugs and snails as long as the soil is moist and the two metals are not touching directly in the soul just connected through the soil by the moisture

i got a method. so you buy 1 garlic clove you separate them gently try not to damage them, and you get old used water bottles,
fill them up to the top and leave the cap off, and put the singular peeled darling cloves inside of the water bottle on the top, and you can put them by a window where there is a lot of sunlight, and they will grow! And then you would transplant them into a pot or a raised bed or in- ground And they will grow crazy! And then when the plant dies off, you get your little garden shovel, and. BOOM! a hole garlic clove off of a little clove off a garlic! Hope you like the idea. :)

Also there are 2 types of mango seeds and one type grows true to seed but the other doesn't so you gotta know which one you have before you invest 5 years of your life. I'm currently sprouting a mango seed but I just want the tree but i know most people will be expecting some friut.

I think something you're missing is that these kind of hacks (if they work) will be appealing to people who have limited funds. So while it looks like a lot of extra work if you can just go out and buy a easier way, if you don't have a lot, then this offers an alternative path.

Hello I have a question! In around 7: 30 of your video you me ruin the leginess of the seeds. What you say is a little confusing. Are you saying that planting it a 1/4 inch is too shallow and should be deeper. What made those plants leggy (minus a lack of light)

that butter thing will also result in rancid butter (lovely aroma. I suspect the original idea they stole was from product photography where many things are faked to get the perfect pic. but these idiots are suggesting it out of context to beginner crafters.

May be that regrowing carrots and beatroot is not about growing food? May be they mean that you can use the edible part and let the plant regrow for the seeding material?
Sorry for grammar mistakes if there are, english is not my native language.

The dark liquid that they put the pepper seeds in is probably some kind of herbal tea, like dandelion root or marigold or something. I've read about soaking pepper seeds in herbal tea to help with germination before but have never tried it.

The butter is def. weird.
The oily film woul get rancid and catch dust even more dust than the naturally occuring waxy cuticula.
But hindering the breathing?
Not so much, scince the stomata are primarily on the underside of the leaf.

Anyone in the UK growing peppers, don't throw your plants out, because if indoors, the leaves drop for winter but then grow back as long as it hasn't frozen, so you get more peppers next year without buying another plant.

I can't imagine the constant temperature of the water, in the pepper video, is warm enough to germinate a pepper seed. People keep their houses pretty cool and peppers need the soil temperature to be 80-90 F (27-32 C.

butter on the leaves, ugh I can only imagine how nasty that is going to get once some dust gets on the butter and it will probably cause issues like he said. and the rusty nails, what the heck.

Totally more effective to plant on soil you dont need to even water. Ive been doing it for years and the succulent leaf has everything it needs and the new growth is FAR stronger.
