Question:

I have a idea that about how to grow plants from seeds.?

If I use a aluminum foil baking pan and put 25 egg cardboard type of carton on the top and and use Poly Twine to soak up water up to the egg carton to water the seedsI can make this for a couple of dollars vs spending $100s for a professional seed growerMy only question is will the Poly Twine soak up water or what should I us to soak the water up?

Answer:

I have a few pots that have a false bottom plate that stand inside the pot but an inch above the pot bottomIts on legsThere is a hole in the side below this bottom plate to pour in waterThe plate has a wide cotton like strap that dips down below the plate on both end and the middle sits above the plateBy pouring water in the hole , this strap pulls it up to the soilBut egg carton may loose the water too fast by evoporationBesides, just one big square pan can give roots more space than those tiny cellsI would take that aluminum pan, poke holes in the bottom, fill with soil, plant seeds and periodically dip the whole pan in an inch of water for 15 minutes.
