Starting the Seeds

A few years ago, I bought a plant stand with lights for indoor growing. It was quite expensive, and not at all sturdy. My husband had to rebolt the whole thing so it wouldn't fall apart when we had to move it. It comes with a non standard size tray, 11" x 16", that you have to use with it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find plastic dome lids for the trays, which are really necessary to retain moisture when starting seeds.

I think I found a solution in the produce section of Costco. Some of their fruit comes in plastic bubble packs which work well for storing Christmas ball ornaments. They also work well for starting seeds. The 12 pack fits just about right in the plant stand tray.
