Episode-2530- Saving Seeds and Starting Plants




The Survival Podcast show

Summary: Time for a two fer Tuesday.  Rather than cover one of these subjects in deep detail I plan to cover both with enough of the basics for you to just be able to understand the primary concepts and get started with both.  First on saving seed, the good news is this is really easy and man has been doing it with no special equipment for about as long as he has understood what seeds were.  It is simple to do and the key is picking the things that work best for you. Starting plants is actually a bit more complicated, but it is something honestly anyone can do.  The key is determining the method that works best, the best plants to do with with and the maximum ROI in time and money for your personal situation.
