Easy steps to creating your own mini-greenhouses!

Here's an easy way to get your hands dirty in the Winter and start some seeds for Spring!

Collect recycled bottles for your mini-greenhouses.

Poke holes in the bottom edges on each side.

Start at the label and cut all the way around to the other side, while using the label as a hing.  

The bottom will be your container for dirt and the top is the greenhouse.

Fill the bottom with potting soil.

Wet your mixture thoroughly or pre-mix and wet before you fill container.

Add a layer of organic seed starter mix.

Wet thoroughly. You can water as you go, mix some ahead of time and wet it, or even dunk your container in a bucket of water.  Just get it wet so your seeds will stay in place once you plant them.

Choose your seeds.

I chose to plant a different type of seed in each container.

Space seeds far enough apart so that you can transplant them into the garden or another container.

After you plant your seeds add a sprinkle of seed starter to cover them.

Tamp softly into place.

Label your containers and duct tape them closed. I also added a plant marker inside the 

mini-greenhouses in case the weather wore off the words on the outside of the containers. Leave your containers outside, check on them occasionally and watch for them to awaken!
