Building a Grow Pod

Number of Seeds

It is important to plant extra seeds to ensure success.. For larger seeds and fruiting plants, sow only a few extra seeds.. Increase number of seeds as seed size decreases and for plants that grow in bunches, such as chives..

PTypically, 6 seeds per Grow Pod works well..

Here are a few preliminary steps that will help the Grow Pod building process go smoothly..

•Preheat iron to a moderate temperature (between silk and cotton settings on most irons, 300°- 400°F).. Do not use steam.

•Write the name of seeds or plant cutting on Label(s) with permanent marker.. Doing this before you start planting prevents accidental mislabeling of Grow Pods..

•If you are re-using a Split-Apart Basket, be sure to scrape residue from previous Label off the surface.. Remnant glue will prevent new Label from adhering..
