Building a Grow Pod

N
umber of Seeds
It is important to plant extra seeds to ensure success.
For larger seeds and fruiting plants, sow only a few extra
seeds. Increase number of seeds as seed size decreases
and for plants that grow in bunches, such as chives.
Typically, 6 seeds per Grow Pod works well.
P
repare Pod Labels
Here are a few preliminary steps that will help the Grow
Pod building process go smoothly.
• Preheat iron to a moderate temperature (between silk
and cotton settings on most irons, 300°-400°F). Do not
use steam.
• Write the name of seeds or
plant cutting on Label(s)
with permanent marker.
Doing this before you
start planting prevents
accidental mislabeling of
Grow Pods.
• If you are re-using a
Split-Apart Basket, be sure
to scrape residue from
previous Label off the
surface. Remnant glue
will prevent new Label
from adhering.
