Fill a small pie pan will a good garden soil mix that supports good draining, use a water spray bottle to get the soil nice and damp, but not muddy. Then plant seeds 1 cm below soil level. Next place the pie tin in a plastic zip lock bag and blow air into it, then seal. If you live in a warm climate just put the bag with the tin in it somewhere outside out of direct sunlight, if you live in a colder climate place the tin inside the bag on a heating pad set on low for about 4-8 hours a day. Make sure to open the bag and check to keep the soil moist at all times, also blow more air into the bag to keep fresh air in. In about 5 - 14 days your seeds will sprout. You may see a small white mold start growing out of the new sprouts. Don't worry, Just spraying the mold with a water spray bottle and leaving the pan outside of the bag for a couple hours will kill off the mold. 2 weeks after sprouting you can take the tin out of the bag for good and start adapting them to sun light outside. Take care not leave them in direct sun light during the first 4 months. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
