Seed Starting Ideas

All-in-One Seedsheets
All-in-One Seedsheets

Seedsheets come with seeds that are not genetically modified (non-GMO) and are embedded in soil pods.


With Seedsheets, there’s no weeding needed. A fabric barrier attached around the seed pods keeps weeds at bay so your seedlings don’t have to fight for space, oxygen or soil nutrients. That makes Seedsheets perfect for first-time gardeners or those who want a no-fail approach. Just plant atop soil, secure with the provided stakes and water regularly for an edible garden.

Because seeds are very small and hard to handle, Sow Easy Seeds by Ferry-Morse took some of their smallest seeds and coated them with bright colors so are they easier to handle and easier to see.The colorful seed coating is all natural and seeds are non-GMO.


This means there’s no more guess work on seed spacing, leading to fewer seedlings needing thinning after they sprout.

When you start your garden with economical seed starter greenhouses, the dome keeps the right environment for seeds to sprout. When you add water to the biodegradable pellets, they expand into perfect little seed pots. Check out this video, which explains how easy this process can be. Some newer seed starting kits even come with a self-watering feature.
