Sounds like a good idea will keep in mind

Hi! Thanks for a great! idea. I have been using zipper sandwich and gallon size bags. First bottom watering till soaked, I then set the pot(s) into the bag and pull up extending 4-8" above pot and close or leave open depending on air requirements. When closed they don't need watering for quite a while.

Hi Carole,

That is the method I've used for years for starting Daylily and Amaryllis seeds under ligths in 4 inch square pots. With those I remove the bag when the leaves hit the top and then transplant when they hit the lights. For both of these I use a 4x4 grid for the seed planting.

For the Daylilies I plant the seed an inch deep, for the Amaryllis I plant them vertically in an inch of builder's sand on top of the soil, leaving just an edge of the seed showing so I can tell where it is :)

In the future I will add wick watering since I've rediscovered its usefulness.

I have 3 cd covers right here that I can use. Great idea.

I use the large meat trays from the deli that have
the clear plastic dome lids. I can fit lots of
peat pots in it and by the time they are reaching
the top they are ready to be transplanted into
something bigger.

Happy Gardening,
