How to Make a Nursery out of An Egg Tray?
Today, I made a nursery for the pepper and tomato seeds. These seeds came from the pepper and tomato that we bought from the store. Instead of buying seeds, you can save the ones from your scraps. When I take off the seeds from the vegetables, I place them right away in a container that is placed right near the sink. Here are the steps in making the nursery.
STEPS:
1. Cut the cover of the egg tray and poke 5 holes at the bottom of the egg
container. This will give it more drainage and prevents the soil from
clogging.
2. Fill each hole completely with soil. Level all the soil using a small shovel or
with your hand.
3. Make a hole in the middle of the soil. Then place 2 or 3 seeds.
4. Cover the seeds and pat it with the shovel or with your hand,
5. Water it gently. You can set the garden hose to mist or shower, so you can
water gently the soil to make it moist.
6. Leave it in a shaded place which can also receive sunlight.
7. Plant seeds early in the morning or late afternoon.
I planted the seeds as soon as I made the nursery. It was already late in the afternoon and I had to stop because the mosquitoes were already biting me (even with the mosquito repellent).
