Mini Pocket seed-starter!

You a gardener?
And are you tired of putting seeds in the ground, only to be eaten by animals as they sprout?

How about you grow your seedlings inside, starting with the pocket greenhouse? This cool little gadget allows you to sprout seeds with your own body heat, and then flip the lid and pop out the dirt-cubes for planting!

Step 1 Materials

Here's what you need:

• 1 Altoids tin
• 1 piece of clear styrene, vinyl,or plastic
• Cardboard or stiff card-paper
• Packing Tape
• Dirt
• Toilet paper (unused, PLEASE!)
• White Glue and/or double-sided tape
• Paint (optional)

This looks cool, but seeds don't need light to germinate. Only after they start growing. But great job on the light addition!
