This is our third video in a seven-part series all about how to grow herbs from seeds.
We started our herb garden in both a hydroponic system and in a seed starting tray to compare germination and growth rates between hydroponic gardening and classic soil-based gardening. In both systems we planted: Basil, Oregano, Thyme, Italian Parsley, Coriander, Dill, Lavender, Viola, Curled Parsley and bonus: Strawberries! (we know it is not an herb) :-) to compare which system works better. This is the 4-6 week update showing the growth of our herb garden in soil trays and in the hydroponic system. Chapters are marked below if you want to find a specific herb in the video.

OUR STORY:
Thank you for stopping by our channel! We are a married couple who moved from our suburban home (showcased in this video) to a 10-acre farm in Canada in November 2022! We are super excited to expand our interests in gardening, farming, homesteading and working towards the goal of self-sufficiency and sustainability. We would love for you to join us as we share our journey!
