SEED CONTAINERS
There are so many types of containers that are specially designed for seedlings. This means that instead of potting all seeds in one container, you can have one seed per tiny container in an ice-tray type container. These honeycomb trays come in various sizes so you could choose the right one for the type of plant you are planning to grow. For example, you will need large trays for leaks or onions, but smaller trays for pansies or begonias.
You can always reuse the seed trays since they are made of plastic and can last for a long time. However, be careful to sterilize these trays before every use by soaking the cleaned cups in a solution of bleach or other disinfectant for 30 minutes, then rinse and use. Mix the solution to the strength recommended on the label for disinfecting surfaces.
You could also use containers from organic materials such as shredded wood, newspaper, and the like. These are especially good for seedlings that do not fare too well after transplantation.
You could also use clear plastic domes that fit over trays of plants. These domes will allow light in, but will at the time prevent moisture from escaping. They can also help retain heat provided to the root zone. Obviously, the domes have to be removed when the seedlings are tall enough to touch them, otherwise your plants will suffer.
