Anyone who has started plants from seed knows how important scheduled watering is to the process. A missed watering can be devastating to some seeds during the germination process.
The Self-Watering Seed Starter from Lee Valley Tool solves this problem by providing water on demand through a capillary mat, and it also creates a mini environment for the seedlings. This is the Cadillac when it comes to seed starting trays with a water reservoir that will last up to five days and water depth indicator.
For more modest budgets upcycled thrift store trays, peat pots and even egg cartons work well with a bit more oversight applied.
Editor’s tip: You can also use newspaper and egg shells to start seeds.
