This is anywhere from significant amateur experience to industry experience. Anyone with minimal experience or knowledge is recommended to do some additional reading of Seed Propagation before starting this course.
Key facts
Seeds can be propagated in many different ways, including:
- Sowing directly into the open ground.
- Sowing into natural soil, improved soil in a controlled environment (eg. in a greenhouse, with heating cables in the ground or in raised beds, and with irrigation).
- Sowing into specialised propagating media in a controlled propagating environment.
Many seedling production nurseries (both private and commercial) specialise in the production of specific types of plants for example:
- vegetable seedlings
