Seed Starter Box

Simple Seed Starter Box

1. Find a sunny window and an old student desk.
2. Get a big box that will fit on the desk.
3. Cut the box in half to make 2 shapes the same.
4. Cover the boxes with aluminium foil.

5. Plant up your seedlings in punnets, pop them inside the box and make sure they don't get too hot in the sun!

The foil is used to give back light to your seeds and saves turning them around everyday or so to prevent them leaning towards the sun.

This idea comes from Emma Cooper's Alternative Kitchen Garden Podcast on Sowing Seeds (from UK) . Listen or download it here:

  1. A great idea for stopping those little seedlings from getting too leggy and growing towards the light!

  2. What a great idea, another thing to add to the projects to do list, the list is actually turning into a book. HEhEHEHE. My poor husband is so tired when he comes home from working away (2weeks on 1 week off), but I reckon he goes back up north for a holiday.
