[quote=Anonymous]I found this on pintrest and figured it was worth a shot.  I was skeptical, but I wanted to get my little ones interested in growing things.   I am an avid gardener, but have never once been able to start anything from a seed because I always forget to water properly.

This took about 10 minutes total per bottle, and I got damn near 100% growth on ALL the seeds I planted (5 different herbs, cucumbers & tomatoes).

Basically, you get a clear soda/seltzer bottle.  Cut it roughly in half.  Put a hole in the cap (I poked through with the scissors I used to cut the bottle), run a cotton cord through it so that half of the cord hangs out of the bottom and half is buried in the soil (this pic shows an orange cord - I just used a white "laundry line").  Fill the up-ended top with soil and plant your seeds.  It will look like this:

It's not the prettiest thing in the Universe, but it's crazy effective.  Just wanted to pass it on!
