Don’t Skip This Step – Potting Up Seedlings the Right Way!

Hey friends, welcome back to The Laid-Back Homestead! Today I’m sharing exactly how I up-pot seedlings to keep them healthy and avoid transplant shock. I’ll show you my simple soil blend—cheap compost and container or raised-bed soil with a sprinkle of organic fertilizer—plus how I transplant brassica seedlings like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts so they don’t get rootbound. You’ll see how I water, when I use a gentle fish emulsion feed, and why hardening off is key if you start seeds indoors. If you’ve ever lost baby plants or wondered when to give them more room, these easy seedling care tips will help you grow stronger starts and bigger harvests.
