Hi Reader,
​
Have you ever planted seeds, eagerly waited… and waited… only to find that nothing sprouted? 😩 Or maybe your seedlings emerged, but they struggled to grow strong?
​
Yes, that was us too, and occasionally it's still us when we plant our weekly microgreens and seedlings.
​
Starting plants from seed shouldn’t feel like a mystery— and with the right techniques, it can be easy, abundant, and even fun! 🌱
​
That’s why we have this blog + video on how to grow plants from seed successfully using 3 simple techniques that will boost germination, increase yield, and make seed-starting easier than ever.

​
🌿 3 Techniques for Seed Starting Success
​

🌱 1. Start Your Seeds the Biointensive Way – Instead of planting directly in the ground, start your seeds in flat trays using a simple soil mix that retains moisture and boosts early root development.
​
📏 2. Space Seeds Closer Than You Think – Traditional seed packets often overestimate how much space seeds need. In bio-intensive growing, seeds are planted closer together, mimicking natural ecosystems to improve germination and efficiency.
​
🗓 3. Time Your Planting Windows – Success starts with knowing when to plant! By planning ahead (our SAGE garden planner can help), you can rotate crops year-round and never miss an opportunity to grow.
