The Problem With Nursery Transplants Nobody Is Talking About

In this video, I share the problem with nursery transplants nobody is talking about. If you buy transplants from nurseries, you may be planting vegetables that are destined to perform poorly. I explain why buying transplants could be killing your harvests and how growing plants from seed could dramatically increase crop yields…but not for the reason you may think.
