starting small ammounts of seeds at home

[Mark]

Everyone contacting me for seeds so far is apparently only intending to grow a few plants. Here's a simple method.

1. cut the top from the bottom of a sytrofoam egg carton

2. puncture the bottom of th part that holds the eggs to allow drainage

4. fill the egg part wit a high quality potting soil and moisten it,

5. place thd soil-filled on top of the flat part (to catch any excess water)

6. Place this on a south-facing window sill

7. spray daily to keep from drying pot and killing the germinations

Note that the ideal germination temperature for pepper seeds is about 85 deg. F. A window sill is not ideal for this purpose. Thats why I use heating pads and fluorescent lights. After the first true leaves appear, transferring to a window sill is OK.

I gotta agree: that's a pretty simple method. Dunno if it'll work though, because you left out the SEEDS, man! 8)
