media Need advice on jiffy pellets

[HotPeppas]

So i bought the big tray with the jiffy pellets

this...

However thats way to big as i dont want to use them all. Anyone know a diy for a humidity housing for like 5 or so of them?

i use a tupperware type dish and just wrap saran wrap over the top and wrap a rubber band around it.

You know when you get Togo from a restaurant, and your hood comes in plastic squares with hinged lids? These are perfect. The small ones will hold about 6 Jiffys and the large will hold close to 20.

For small plants like peppers - you can cut them in half (so you get twice as many) and then place them in empty egg cartons - just have to watch them fairly closely as they do not have a lot off room between the pellet and top off carton once they sprout !

slice a water bottle or tupperware
If you look in the back you can see the water bottles and tupperware has worked perfect so far

Clear Plastic hinged lidded berry containers work sweet and once sprouted you can simply open or cut off and remove the lid and simply fill it with soil and there is also your first pot up. (They usually have small holes in the bottom for drainage as well)

+1 im not recycling all my strawberry containers for this purpose

Use anything that is clear and plastic that will fit over the base container or tray. You want to lock in humidity and moisture creating a greenhouse effect.

anytime we buy a veggie tray or cake from the grocery, i save the containers. the large veggie platter containers are awesome for this
