Why Plant Seeds? A blog about benefits of planting seeds and how easy it is to do.

Introduction

There are many benefits to growing plants from seeds, but the most obvious is that it’s far less expensive than buying seedlings in stores or online. The only thing you need to get started is a little bit of knowledge and some basic supplies. With this guide, we’ll walk through everything you need to know about planting seeds so that you can have fun experimenting with them!

It’s eco-friendly.

Growing from seed is more eco-friendly than buying plants. Since you don’t need to repot the seedlings and can reuse the same trays for years, the amount of waste produced by this method is significantly less than with other growing methods.

You’ll save money.

Planting seeds is a cheap way to grow your own food. You can save money on seed packets, fertilizer, gardening tools and supplies, gardening products and services, and even gardening equipment. The only upfront investment you’ll need to make is buying the seeds themselves (and even this cost will be minimal if you have an indoor planter box).

You get to have fun experimenting.

One of the best things about planting seeds is that you get to have fun experimenting. You can try new varieties of plants, different planting techniques, different fertilizers and even different planting locations. In short, it’s pretty much like playing with Legos for adults…except with plants!

You’re also likely to learn a lot more about what you like (and don’t like) than if you were just buying whatever looked nice at the store—and that’s something I’m sure everyone can appreciate!

It’s incredibly rewarding to see the seedlings sprout and flourish, especially if you’re growing a plant that’s hard to find in stores.

Growing your own plants is a rewarding experience. Not only can you grow rare and exotic plants, but you can also save money by growing them yourself. Planting seeds is easy and inexpensive, so why not give it a try? If you’re worried that your plants won’t survive, don’t be! If you follow our guide for planting seeds properly, your plant will grow into a healthy specimen in no time.

Growing plants from seedlings is rewarding because it’s gratifying to see the sprouting of something new and beautiful from what was once just an idea or thought into reality. But more than that: planting seeds allows for exploration of different varieties of plants (which can lead to discovering new favorites). For example—if you enjoy gardening but live in an apartment without access to greenhouses or terrariums (or just want something small enough to fit on your windowsill), try growing ivy indoors! Ivy seeds are very easy-to-get and take root quickly when planted with the right amount of sunlight exposure; once they’ve reached maturity they will begin covering any surface area available within weeks’ time–and all without needing any additional care such as watering or fertilizing.

You can buy or make great seed starter kits that are fun for children and adults alike.

There are many different types of seed starter kits available, some made from recycled materials, some using different types of containers and soils, and some even containing seeds that have been selected specifically to be easy to grow.

Depending on your interest level and time constraints, you may wish to invest in a kit or simply purchase the items individually at your local garden center.

Growing your own herbs and produce is especially helpful if you’re concerned about pesticides and chemicals used in commercial farming.

Growing your own herbs and produce is especially helpful if you’re concerned about pesticides and chemicals used in commercial farming. This can be a difficult subject to navigate, so we’ve created a list of tips that will help you reduce the amount of pesticides in your food.

Make sure to wash all fruits and vegetables before eating them raw, even if they look clean and free from dirt. Pesticides are absorbed quickly into skin and other parts of plants, so even if it looks like there’s no visible residue on the outside, there could still be something harmful inside.
Buy organic whenever possible; many conventional farms use more pesticides than necessary just because they can’t afford organic farming methods like planting cover crops (which attract natural predators) or rotating crops regularly (to help prevent pests). If buying organic isn’t feasible for whatever reason, try shopping at farmer’s markets instead! Farmers who sell directly from their farms tend to use less chemical treatment than those who do not; moreover, this helps support local businesses who are trying hard not only provide fresh products for consumers but also protect our environment as well.*

If you’re new to gardening, starting with seeds gives you an understanding of plants’ needs from the very beginning of their lives, which will help when it comes time to transplant them outside or into larger pots.

If you’re new to gardening, starting with seeds gives you an understanding of plants’ needs from the very beginning of their lives. That’s because seedlings are more fragile than mature plants. They require careful watering and feeding on a daily basis during their first few weeks or months in pots or trays while they’re setting roots and growing strong enough to support themselves upright.

You’ll need to provide lots of light for your seedlings, too—at least 12 hours per day—so they can grow as quickly as possible before being transplanted outside or into larger pots. The lights can be hung above the trays using items like picture hangers or hooks drilled into an old door frame (and this is where having an extra set of hands comes in handy).

Plants grown from seeds often produce better fruit than plants grown from clones (cuttings) because they’ve adapted to more diverse conditions.

Planting from seed is a way to enjoy the best of both worlds. You get the genetic diversity you need for your plants to adapt and thrive in less than ideal conditions, but you also have access to that same genetic material if needed. In short: seedlings are more resilient and adaptable, which means they’re more likely to produce better fruit.

But what if I told you there was another benefit?

Growing plants from seeds is healthy and rewarding for you, your family, and your garden.

Growing plants from seeds is healthy and rewarding for you, your family, and your garden. The benefits of growing food are many, but here are a few of the most important ones:

You can grow your own food, which is one of the best ways to save money on groceries.
Kids will learn about plants when they watch them grow and produce fruit or vegetables. It’s a great way to teach science!
Planting seeds indoors in containers allows you to experiment with different varieties at any time of year—it’s easy to start over if something doesn’t work out as planned. It’s also fun! Planting seeds can be therapeutic because there’s always something new happening in the garden every day (like sprouting seedlings).
If you want more space for growing things outside your home but don’t have it yet, try planting some plants indoors on top of an unused table or shelf instead. You’ll get fresh greens all year long without spending much money at all!
