Seed starter greenhouse made from on hand materials

Step 5 Create the dome

I dont actually know if the green color of a greenhouse actually matters for starting seeds. But I do know the purpose of this is to keep a high moisture level in the greenhouse. Lucky for me ziplock baggies are green-ish colored. The top took four large baggies to get enough scrap. This was one of the only ways that I thought could cover all of the area with the least amount of bags. Again the hot glue melted the bags, but it could seal the holes just as quickly... The idea here is to create an air tight seam so that you can keep moisture in.

Hi, No need to make it absolutely air tight. Plants in a greenhouse need some airflow. Cotton balls are supposed to make a nice cheap easy on hand starter media as well thats supposed to be somewhat mold/damping off resistant. Get some cotton balls (could use a tampon or pieces of sponge) spritz or wet otherwise, place a seed or 3 in the ball and place in the greenhouse. Don't let the balls dry out. The ball shouldn't be absolutely dripping wet. Nice job on the instructable and cool idea. Thanks for posting it. gentle day.
