Container You Use
Regardless of the type of container chose, fill it three-fourths full with seed-starting mixture and sow the seeds, cover to the specified depth and water the mix. If your home is dry, it may help to cover the containers with plastic wrap to maintain a steadier moisture level. Seeds and seedlings are extremely sensitive to drying out. they should not be kept soaking wet, however, since this condition is conducive to “damping-off,” a fungal disease deadly to seedling. Damping-off can be prevented or diminished by sprinkling milled sphagnum moss, which contains a natural fungicide, on top of the soil.
