His Italian grandma introduced him to the old but effective trick that ensures proper seed planting. "My Nonna taught me this trick to start any size seed perfectly, every time, using just one finger," he said. "The old ways are the best ways.

Medium-sized seeds, such as tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants, require more soil depth.
To properly measure how deep the seeds needed to be, he simply went as far as his fingernail.
