Seed Starters


Seed Starters
Originally uploaded by mikeysklar
This plastic bowl that Wendy picked up at a yard sale for $1.50 earlier this month has really paid off. It was apparently designed to store fruit. The small holes and dome shape have been ideal for starting seeds. These little seedlings are green bean and scarlet runner bean that have been going for only six days. Perhaps we should dome all of our little starter trays to help hold the humidity. I bet it would be ideal for mycelium cultivation as well. We can probably make more using two salad bowls and a drill.

I fond this idea about starting seeds in ziplock bags: http://www.greendealer-exotic-seeds.com/seeds/HowtoGermZip-lockBag.html

I have been doing this for two years and it works great. I hang them on a clothsline over our woodburning stove and most seeds germinate in less than a week.
