Ways to make perfect seedling starters

Seedlings

There are a few different ways to make seedlings for plants. One way is to use soil blocks. Soil blocks are made by mixing soil and water in a container until it forms thick mud. Then, you form the mud into small blocks by pressing it down with your hands. The blocks will be wet and sticky, so let them dry before using them for a day or two.

Another way to make seedlings is to use peat pellets. Peat pellets are made from compressed peat moss. To use them, you soak them in water for about 10 minutes, then plant the seeds in the center of the pellet. Once the seeds have germinated (sprouted), you can transplant the seedlings to larger containers or outdoors in your garden.

Or, you can start the seeds in small cups filled with soil. Water the soil until it is damp but not dripping wet, then plant one seed about 1/4 inch deep in each cup. Place the cups on a tray and set them near a window where they will get indirect sunlight. Keep an eye on how much water the soil needs–you don’t want it too dry or too moist. As soon as you see green, stop watering! Continue to let the leaves turn yellow before transplanting them outside in your garden.
