7 Top Easy Tips for Seed Starting

Editor's Note: from http://gardening.about.com/

Containers - Either purchased pots or flats or containers you've saved, like egg cartons and yogurt cups. Used pots should be cleaned and disinfected by soaking in 1 part bleach to 10 parts water.

Potting Mix - Seeds do best in a soilless mix where there are fewer inherent problems than with garden soil

Seeds - Your choice

Labels/markers - Trust me, you won't remember what's what

Plastic Bags or Covers - These will trap warmth and humidity where the seeds need it

Water

Light Source - If you don't have a bright window, you will need some kind of florescent or high density plant light
