Preparing the Seeds to be Planted indoors...

I have another way that I get the dirt damp to start the seeds, which I think is easier than soaking the dirt. I have a big mixing bowl, I fill the bowl about half full, and then I add a cup to 2 cups of water to it, and mix it up. That way the dirt is moist to start with. Then you fill up the containers, put a seed in each one, and put a thin layer of moist dirt on top. Sometimes I add a little water on top after this if the dirt doesn't seem moist enough. Put on the layer of saran wrap, or plastic cover, put it on the top of the refrigerator till they sprout. The warmth of the refrigerator helps them sprout more quickly. Then take off the cover and put them under the lights.
