What is a Seedsheet? Where does it come from? What makes it so magical? Will it turn my ikea-clad apartment into an urban Eden?
All good questions.
FAQs:
What is a Seedsheet?
The Seedsheet is an agricultural paint-by-numbers, containing the finest organic non-GMO seeds in arrangements optimized for their specific individual characteristics, companion benefits, and climate compatibility. It is simply placed atop soil and watered for a fully-planted decadent garden in seconds. Designing and building a garden is tough, so we simplified your choices to give you the best chance at growing a successful bounty!
What's in a Seedsheet?
Love. Well, love and a lot of other amazing things, most notably the highest quality organic-certified non-GMO seeds possible from our friends at High Mowing Seed Company, as well as local compost certified for organic use from our neighbors at Vermont Natural Agricultural Products.
The Seedsheet is made of a woven polypropylene cloth (same as your long underwear... but cleaner), is UV resistant to prevent weeds from photosynthesizing, and includes micro-punctures to allow water and nutrients to seep into your plants' roots.
The water soluble pods are made of PVA, or Polyvinyl Alcohol. Despite its scary sounding name which when said aloud makes you think of a magic school bus episode, it is entirely harmless. PVA is used in the pharmaceutic industry as the coating for pills to dissolve, and in the medical industry for bandages. So yah, it's pretty darn safe. But don't just take our word for it, read this super riveting scholarly article!
Where do Seedsheets come from?
We are located in the heartland of Vermont, the Champlain Valley; where the cheese flows like wine and even our soil is artisanal. Our seed and soil suppliers also reside in this great state, and we build each and every sheet here at our HQ in Middlebury, VT.
Is the Seedsheet 100% successful?
We strive to build the best Seedsheets possible and have worked with agricultural professionals and professors far smarter than we are to design the most optimized arrangements. We have thoroughly tested our sheets and have modified the number of seeds planted in each pod to give you the best chances of success. However, seeds are living organisms, and if they're planted on asphalt and watered with Mountain Dew, chances are they won't grow. So don't do that. Be sure to check out our tips page for help along your journey towards home-grown decadence.
The Seedsheet doesn't perfectly fit in my garden, can I cut it?
You betcha. We've designed every sheet with the spacing requirements of each plant type in mind. So if you have to trim the fabric to better fit in your existing garden or box, just know that you may be constraining the plant's horizontal root expansion and it might not grow to its full size. Fortunately for you though, baby kale tastes just as good as full sized kale.
