- 1). Fill a medium-sized bowl with water and soak the dehydrated soil disks for approximately 15 minutes to rehydrate them. As the disks rehydrate they will expand upward, forming a cylinder-like shape soil plug encased in fine netting.
- 2). Place the rehydrated soil plugs back in the tray, one plug per square section.
- 3). Read the back of the seed packet that came with the germinator greenhouse kit and follow any pre-planting directions, such as soaking.
- 4). Sink one, two or three seeds, depending on how large the seeds are, into each soil plug. Plant the seeds at a depth of one-half inch.
- 5). Cover the tray with the transparent plastic lid and press on the lid until it snaps into place, ensuring the lid is sealed over the tray.
- 6). Set the covered tray inside or outside in full sun until the seeds sprout.
- 7). Let the seedlings grow and then transplant into the garden according to the instructions provided with the seeds. At planting, tear the netting at the bottom of the soil plug so the plant's roots can grow into the ground. Plant the entire soil plug in the ground.
