Things You'll Need:
- Seeds
- Portable Greenhouse
- Tweezers
- Water
- Watering can
-
Step 1
Purchase the portable greenhouse from any home or garden center. They range in sizes and the larger you buy the more it costs. I own a few 72 pellet greenhouses and they cost me less than $7 each.
-
Step 2
The portable greenhouse comes with pellets made out of various biodegradable material most notably peat moss. They are hard as a rock. So the first thing we want to do is turn them into an environment that is suitable for seeds. To do that we add water. Fill the greenhouse with enough water so that the waterline rests just above the heights of the pellets.
-
Step 3
Wait until the pellets rise. About 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Step 4
Using your tweezers gently pick up a seed and place it in the middle of the raised pellet.
-
Step 5
After you have placed all of your seeds, go back and using your index finger, move some of the material in the pellet over top of the seed.
-
Step 6
Place the plastic lid on top to cover.
-
Step 7
Put the entire greenhouse on a window sill or plant stand where the sun comes through first thing in the morning (an east facing window).
-
Step 8
After a week or so, depending on what you planted, the seeds will have germenated. When they reach a height of an inch and a half or more they are ready to be moved to larger pots or in your garden.
