About this episode
Wondering if starting from seed is always the best option? Curious about what plugs are and if the benefits outweigh the seemingly higher upfront costs? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss all things plugs. They cover what plugs are, pros and cons versus starting from seed, and when and where to order. Plus, they list some plants that many flower farmers opt to order plugs for (rather than start from seed themselves). Listen to the podcast and learn about plugs and why they can be such a valuable resource for growers! The video version of Lisa and Layne's conversation will be posted to The Gardener’s Workshop’s YouTube channel, where all “Seed Talk” episodes are organized into a playlist .
