Planting Seedlings in Eggs Shells - Part 2

g'day welcome to i cultivate my name's Steve and today we're going to be following up on a video that we previously did that looked at germinating seeds in eggshells and old egg cup these are the seeds that we germinated in the eggshells and just the straight egg cartons and you can see that we've had a hundred percent strike rate and that's despite the fact that we've had some extreme weather conditions here with temperatures reaching almost 40 degrees Celsius in the past few days you can see these have suffered a little bit as a result of that in fact you can see some of the measures that are put in place to try and protect some new seedlings over here with the green shade cloth but with suitable care I think these seedlings will be fine as soon as we get them into the ground and ensure that they get enough moisture so let's get them into the ground I'm going to place in one row here these ones that have been raised within the eggshells and in the second row those that have been raised just simply within the egg cartons because I'm interested to see if there will be a difference they're not expecting so but let's find out so using my measuring stick these seedlings are corn and so therefore I'm going to place them about 25 centimeters apart in two bros about 50 centimeters apart for these corn seed links that are in the egg shots I'm going to search the ball crack them just a little bit just to give them a bit of a helping hand there we go and you can see all I've done there is just simply placed the eggshell directly into the ground 25 centimeters apart and there we have it our seedlings that were germinated within the eggshell planted now I'm going to do the same thing but with those that were germinated just simply in straight egg cartons with these so I'm going to separate them to simply by cutting them through like so and again using my measuring stick or place these 25 centimeters apart about 50 centimeters away from this row now I am tearing the bottom of this egg carton out just a little bit just to help the process so now finish this process by giving them a good water in and particularly in the weather that we've been having lately extreme weather getting up towards 40 degrees Celsius I have ensured that I have a really good layer of mulch around these as well to help preserve the moisture in the soil now hope you've enjoyed this video can I please ask you to go down to the thumbs up and give us a thumbs up subscribe to this channel and go to our website i cultivate dotnet and become a member of the community thanks for watching [Music]
