Mini-Greenhouses - Cheap and Easy


My ahhhh-hahhhhhhhhhhhhhh moment this year led to me reusing my plastic egg cartons from my cage-free organic eggs, reborn as mini-greenhouses for seed starting.  I used vermiculite as the growing medium, and low and behold it worked.  After two weeks, I then transplanted my seedlings into my homemade newspaper pots.  I had about a 98% success ratio with this method.  A few of my tomato plants, and pepper plants have died off after being transplanted, however most are still growing.  I am calling this a successful experiment, and I love the nil-to-nothing cost.
