Buying Guide: Seed Starting Supplies
Seed Starting Kits and Trays
Ferry-Morse kits include trays with individual cells, such as an 18 Cells kit measuring 11 in. W x 22 in. L and a 36 Cells kit of the same tray size. Some kits come with prefilled seed starting soil in reusable recycled plastic cells, and some greenhouse kits add clear domes that keep in moisture and raise the temperature so seeds germinate faster. Raised ridges on the tray bottoms help air circulate around the roots.
Pots, Pellets and Transplanting
Ferry-Morse sells biodegradable seed starting cups, natural fiber pots and coconut coir pellet trays. The fiber pots and coir pellets are meant to go into the ground with the seedling, so you avoid disturbing roots at transplant time. Pot sizes are given in inches, so measure your space before you buy.
Grow Lights and Wildflower Seeds
The Ferry-Morse hydroponic grow light kit is designed for indoor use and has an 11 inch fixture height to light young seedlings. The Pollinator Wildflower Mix Seeds blend of annual and perennial flowers is intended to attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, with a shaker bag that covers up to 500 square feet.
