This post is for gardeners with many levels of experience who want to reap the many rewards of learning to grow from BOTH seeds and seedlings. Remember that some crops must be grown from seed since the young plant can’t survive transplanting. The Deep Root team will continue researching and testing new tricks and tips that will require the least time and energy. Skip parts you are not ready to tackle now and come back to them later.
Deep Roots innovative method “Transformational Gardening” combines the best practices of “Organic Farming” and “Regenerative Farming” and applies them to kitchen gardens with raised beds and large containers. Integrating the two systems addresses their shortcomings and adapts them to small growing spaces and raised beds. The result is a robust and resilient natural gardening system that promotes soil and crop biodiversity.
The DRP team absolutely loves the videos on this page by environment scientist Octaivia Hopwood. The links to articles, books, and videos on our Deep Roots blog posts are not merely copied and pasted. They have been selected after hours spent consulting and evaluating literally hundreds of resources.

The medicinal advantages of healthy food cannot be understated. A well-balanced diet that includes unprocessed fresh foods, variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, and very small amounts of fish & animal foods can help support overall health and prevent a number of chronic diseases. The key to success is avoiding sugar, unhealthy oils made from seeds and processed foods. Some people avoid all animal foods like fish, meat, dairy, eggs and alcoholic drinks. Your body will thank you for choosing healthy food and lifestyle.
