SEED STARTING KIT

Most people start their plants from seedling, but you can easily start from seeds and save some money. The following method works equally well with trees, herbs and vegetables. How many times have you sow your seeds by hand, just tossing them into your planting bed, covered them with soil, watered any crossed your fingers. Then when something brakes the surface you start to wonder if this is your seedling or a weed.  You start with your seeds, paper towel and a plastic (zip-lock) bag.

THESE ARE ALL THE ITEMS YOU NEED TO START

Step 1

Mark Ziploc with name of seeds & date started.

Step 2

Wet paper towel squeezing out excess water leaving paper towel damp.

Step 3

Wrap seed or seeds in wet paper towel, folding it once or twice.

Step 4

Place wrapped seed or seeds into the Ziploc and store in indirect light until they show root and stems

Step 5

Remove seed from Ziploc and plant in a small pot until it is large enough to plant in your garden
