~Seed Starter Kit 101~

It's that time of year friends, time to get your seeds sprouting for your spring planting. It's really fun, simple, and will only cost you about $12 to get your plants here and ready to go in the ground.

What you will need:

(I purchased everything at our dollar store)

Seed Starter Kit $4

Starter Soil 4 quarts $3

Watering pitcher $1

Seeds 3/$1

(From Home)

Pencil

Fork

Large Bowl

Start out with 2 quarts of soil and moisten completely in your large bowl with LUKE warm water, mixing with your fork.

Add moistened soil to each starter cup 2" full.

Using your pencil, make a hole in the middle of the soil to add the seeds.

Add your seeds to the hole.

Using your pre-moistened soil and a fork, add a small amount of soil to the top of your seeds to cover. For example, about the amount of the size of your thumb. Please note; adding to much soil over seeds will suffocate your seeds and they will not grow.

Water your new covered seeds very lightly with LUKE warm water.

DO NOT over water your seeds here, your soil is already moist. You may even find skipping this step is helpful until the following day.

Find a safe place to store your kit inside and make sure to check the moisture of your dirt. Add LUKE warm water to your cups when needed.

Once your seedlings are big enough, simply transplant in your prepared garden.

If you wish to fertilize your starter seedlings, you may do so with a water based fertilizer and do this every other day!
