Garden Supply Check-list
Spring will be here faster than you think and with that, it’ll be planting time! So let’s get organized.
I want to get you set up early so you’re ready to break ground, or pop those seeds in the soil, as soon as you can.
With supply chain issues going on this year I also want to make sure you buy anything additional that you need soon so you have EVERYTHING you need for a great growing season.
Here’s my challenge to you: over the next 10 days, grab this checklist and head into your garden shed for an early season inventory!
Seeds - inventory what you have - most seeds are viable for 2-3 years
Potting soil for seed starting
Grow lights
Shelving for your plants and lights
Trays and domes - you can use these again and again just be sure to wash before planting
Heat mats & thermostat
Timer for your lights
4 packs or 6 packs - you can use these again and again just be sure to wash before planting
3 inch pots or 4 inch pots - you can use these again and again just be sure to wash before planting
Gallon pots - you can use these again and again just be sure to wash before planting
Plant labels - buy or make your own
Dish gloves or latex gloves - for seed sowing indoors these help keep my hands from getting all dried out
Watering can - I like a kids specific one for watering indoors
Soil test - DIY kit or identify a lab to send out to
Organic soil amendments per your soil test
Compost - home-made or commercial
Trowel
Weeding tools
Pitch fork or broad fork
Bed prep rake or stiff tined rake
Pots and planters and/or garden beds - I know they’re all covered in snow, just make a plan, especially if you need more
Trellising and staking supplies
Garden journal or calendar
Your garden plan and garden map
Garden gloves - I love having a leather pair and a more waterproof pair
Knee pads or equivalent
