Need to grow seedlings?
How about growing them in a DIY mini greenhouse?
It's simple, fun and economical!
All you need is a simple plastic box.
You know, those boxes that contain strawberries or pastries at the supermarket!
Here is how to make your mini greenhouse for seedlings for free :
- plastic box
- sowing compost
- seeds
- water spray
1. Soak seeds overnight before planting.
2. Fill the box 3/4 full with potting soil.
3. Put the seeds directly on the potting soil.
4. Add a layer of potting soil on top.
5. Spray water to moisten the soil well.
And There you go ! You have made your indoor mini greenhouse for free :-)
Easy, fast, and cheap, right?
Your seeds stay warm even overnight!
Choose a special soil for seedlings that is richer and lighter.
Once the seedlings have grown well in your mini greenhouse, simply transplant them into a flower box on the balcony.
You don't even have to have a garden to grow your fruits and vegetables at home!
I planted pumpkin and tomato seeds. In 5 days, they had already grown well! Watch:
- Close the box at night, and open it during the day when the weather is nice to speed up germination. Thus, your seedlings will start faster.
- Remember to note the name of the seeds planted so as not to confuse them if you are making several mini-greenhouses.
