So you are looking to get into seed starting? You are probably wondering what you should do first and you may even feel overwhelmed. I know this because I too had theses exact feelings when I got started. The good news is that it's not that complicated you just need someone to help get you on the right track.

When I started to try seed starting I probably did about everything wrong that was possible. It wasnt until I tried a seed starting kit that things started to fall into place for me. What made a seed starting kit so nice was that it included everything in it that I needed to begin growing seeds. I no longer had to guess which supplies I needed to be able to grow seeds successfully. That was always my problem before purchasing a seed starting kit I would always be missing this or that and it would keep me from succeeding in my hobby.

An average seed starting kit will include a seed tray with cover to increase humidity, seed germinating mix, seed markers, water level indicators, and seedling fertilizer. The only thing missing is the seed itself and that will depend on your individual needs. Most seed starting kits are fairly similar except for the range in size. The size kit that you will want will depend on exactly how many seeds you wish to start. I start vegetable seeds to transplant into my garden so I like to have a seventy two tray kit. Kits range in price from about twenty dollars to sixty dollars depending on the size.

I like to consider a seed starting kit the blueprint that you need to succeed in growing seeds your first year. It will help teach you the ins and outs of seed starting while you get to enjoy the hobby that you love. I always like to take notes of the things that I do so that I know what worked and what didn't work from year to year. During your first year while using a seed starting kit you will learn how it works and a few tips along the way that will allow you to be prepared to do it on your own next year. Once you have learned all the basics you may want try things such as grow lights and greenhouses. The main thing is to enjoy the hobby that you love and remember that there will always be things to learn year after year.
