So you just put the seeds in the ground.and water them, Got it.

Yes maybe so one would never know retard as the video's are void of that knowledge you fucking idiot.

I'm from Minnesota...spinach grows very easy here...eat it everyday

Totally void of any useful information

Compost uses up nitrogen to break down and wouldn't be a good idea unless it has fully broken down already to the consistency of potting soil.Try using epsom salt instead.

Watch this if you do not want to learn anything about growing spinach. This young lady would perhaps do better at giving lessons at basket weaving.

That looks "more" like shade fabric than row cover which may explain why she had such a hard time getting it to stay. Too heavy and "critters" would actually get in through the sides. Definitely a garden nerd. I'll check some other video.

My spinach keeps dying after it grows about 3 inches.. Don't know what the problem is I am watering every day.... I'll try using some compost.

Does this kind of spinach grow well in tropica climate?.... Nice info

Thank you based $pinach

Thank you

great video! I grow spinach in containers and its great!

I'm attempting to grow spinach this year from seed and while all my other leafy greens seem to be coming up nice I am having the toughest time with the spinach. Some of the seeds germinate and come up through the soil, but as soon as they sprout, just a couple days later they keep wilting, causing me to replant. I'm running out of seeds! Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong and how to fix it? If this keeps up I'm just going to have to find seedlings to transplant into my own garden, which isn't nearly as satisfying.

Is the vine from a spinach leaf edible?

That green net won't protect the plants from bugs. I wish you had included when to plant the seeds, in spring, summer or fall. Also when and how to harvest the spinach. Will it grow until first frost in autumn or last until first freeze?

In another video you show how to grow lettuce in a pot, indoors or outdoors. Is it possible to grow spinach and lettuce in the same pot? Or do they have different requirements?

Great tips ... thank you!

Thanks for the tip on protecting the seedlings. Great video, I am now going to try growing my seeds at the end of the summers as I just learned they prefer cooler temps. :)
