Winter Sowing

A Unique Milk Jug Method to Start Seeds Outdoors During Cold, Snowy Months

by Melissa J. Will

We call it "winter sowing" but instead of sowing the seeds directly outdoors we’re sowing in clear, closed but ventilated containers like milk jugs (or other clear containers with lids) which act like mini greenhouses.

With seeds sown (you can do that part indoors), the closed containers are placed outdoors to experience winter conditions—cold, snow, rain, you name it.

The seeds remain dormant while chilling, and, as spring approaches, light and heat increase and germination is triggered.

This ebook walks you through all the basic steps including recommended supplies and seed choices.
