February 15, 2008, Newsletter Issue #199: Easy Seed Sowing: (4) Covering The Trays.

Tip of the Week

All seeds need high humidity whilst germinating. The traditional method was to cover with glass and newspaper, nowadays this has largely been superseded by milky polythene.
If you have a propogator, this stage is unnecessary as the plastic lid provides the necessary conditions.
Place the sown seed trays on your greenhouse benching and place some thin bamboo canes diagonally across them and roll out some thin milky polythrne on top.
Clear polythene will do, but you may have to place some newspaper on top to prevent sunscorch.
