Lol…i made these last winter…my husband tossed them…
I am glas I re-watched !Great project for the February doldrums!
Add a popsicle stick label to the bag then your ready to mark your row at planting time. 🙂
I think if you took an Elmer glue bottle and put the water flour mixture in it, you could just dab the paper with it.
What's going to keep the seeds from germinating and then drying up before their planted from all that moisture?
Omg I love this I'm soo going to do this with my boys
Franken carrots!!! That's the fun part!
Is that 2-3 carrot seeds per spot?
@migardener could you use a safe liquid fertilizer (something graded for foliar feed maybe) to moisten your paste instead of water to give them a bit of a boost later?
One of those things everyone tries once. If the glue is too wet or the blob is too big, small seeds will absorb the water, start to swell then dry out and die. If the glue is a bit too stiff, the seeds fall off when the glue dries. Im always interested to see if you're still doing this five years later
Do you think that newspaper would work for seed tape????
using TP like that is a crime
Does the glue cause difficulty with unrolling the tape???
do you let it dry before rolling it up so it doesn't stick together? you didn't say!
Can you recommend a seed dispenser I noticed you got a lot of doubles I don't have very steady hands and would probably get more triples than singles.
Enjoy the channel, but I so do not recommend this. Don't feel bad about the pj's, I've seen fool in Wal-mart walking around like that! Planted some spinach just yesterday, and they literally fell right into place, must be the practice. 'How about a really cold beer! oh wait its suppose to be winter.
Wife: Honey, why are there tiny rolls of toilet paper in our refrigerator? Have you been doing those silly arts and crafts project again for those crazy UTube videos you make?
A question, five years later: do you still find this a useful technique? I don't think you've mentioned it in recent videos.
Just a thought for folks, if you had done three rows on the same one side of two ply and then put the second side back down you would be done with three rows. Maybe I am over simplifying it? It works out perfectly, my TP is 4.25" and carrots only need 2" on center spacing so one row near each edge and one in the center..
So people werent really hoarding toilet paper last year! they were making seed tape!
Love the music. You offer such great ideas. Thanks
Luke, absolutely brilliant video! Thank you for sharing this!
If you put down one ply of the TP, apply paste dots in two rows, seed it, put the top ply on offset by half a sheet lengthwise and let it dry before splitting, it doesn't want to tear apart at the perforations so easily. Then roll it up. Thanks Luke for doing this.
Hey .. everyone Moniee-Mon, is listening thanks for the info vedios keep doing what'cha do best God bless ya!.
Thanks
How many seeds did you place on each dot of glue?
After watching this video I made my own carrot seed tapes. In the middle of each tape I added one flower seed to encourage pollinators. Either a calendula, cosmos or a marigold.
