Hello Jell-O Seed Starter
To get flower and vegetable seeds off to a disease-free start, try a sweet approach.
Sprinkle the seeds with Jell-O powder. You can also feed young plants with Jell-O
as they grow.
Peat pots
Potting soil
Seeds
1 package of Jell-O powder,
any flavor with sugar
Powdered skim milk, in amount
equal to Jell-O (optional)
Saltshaker or other sprinkling device
Newspaper
1. Fill the peat pots with potting soil, and
place two seeds in each pot.
2. Fill the saltshaker with the Jell-O powder
(and powdered skim milk, if desired, for extra calcium), and sprinkle
lightly on top. Gently press down the powder, and cover lightly with soil.
3. Moisten the soil, and cover it with damp newspaper.
4. After 4 days, remove the newspaper, and keep the seeds in a warm area with
temperatures of 55° to 65°F.
