Seed starting isn’t really all that difficult, once you know
some basic information and tips. We could go on for a long time about this
subject but for now let’s keep it brief. In seed starting there is a plethora
of equipment and tools you can buy, you can go super thrifty or extremely professional,
but you really just need a few basics.
A. Trays- Black plastic trays are simple to keep water from
ruining your furniture and floors. This will also hold in heat and contain your
plants. If you try to use something too flimsy or with sides not high enough,
they tend to fall over and get damaged.
B. Watering- 2 items are ideal, a spray bottle and a watering can
with a small spout. This way you can mist the soil surfaces and water seedlings
without damaging young plants. The small spout watering can allows controlling
the flow and not knocking over tender plants.
C. Seeds- Good quality seeds will yield good quality plants.
Organic seeds and Heirloom seeds are also available
Thats all there is to it, now it's time to have some fun in the dirt :)
