    Capacities with seedlings are usually placed on the windowsill. And if the window sill is too narrow? Then make a simple removable device for growing seedlings with your own hands.
    From strip steel, make 2 brackets. Fasten them with one end on half of the frame without a bolt, and with the other end with a thrust, place it in the window sill. Place the box on the brackets by tilting it at an angle to the light. You can even place 2 of these drawers - one above the other - by securing both ends of the bracket with screws.

    I want to write, as I swoop down my seedlings. I work alone in the country: children are busy with their business, they have no time, and they don’t want to work on the land. So you have to invent how to ease the work: the age does not allow you to do everything as before.
    Sow seedlings in boxes in the apartment (everyone knows this, I will not repeat it). When two real leaves appear near the seedlings, I take her to the garden. And there I have two big holey barrels - once served as containers for water, now I gave them a second life. At the bottom I lay small twigs from tree pruning, hay, straw, any debris smaller, waste from the kitchen and any “waste”, some fertilizer and purchased land. I have no manure. I mix everything well, and the composition is ready.

    Yes, I forgot to write that the earth on top of those branches that lie at the very bottom, I shift the cardboard, so that the roots are warmer when frosts occur.
    I wrap the barrel with old blankets, tie it up so that the wind does not blow away, and dive in seedlings.
    Diving standing, which is very important, do not bend down. Conveniently!

    No wonder they say that ideas are in the air. Recently I read on the Internet about growing seedlings in the so-called "snails". I have been using this method for several years now, although I have called the capacity for seedlings simply “rolls.”
    After laying the laminate, I had a substrate with a thickness of 2 mm. She went to the manufacture of roll "la * biirint" that help in the cultivation of seedlings to save space. I cut this material into strips of length 1,5 m and width 10 cm.
    Then he acted like this. He unfolded the strip on the table, carefully poured soil with a layer of 2 cm about 20 cm in length, laid seeds on it with an interval of 2 cm, departing from the top edge 2, and from the side edge 5 cm. After that, he gently began to roll the strip into a roll, trying so that the soil does not wake up. Then he sowed on the next
    blowing 20, see, folded again, and so on until the very end. The outer edge is secured with three strips of narrow tape.
    The resulting rolls are inserted into plastic containers. The three-liter paint buckets fit perfectly, which I naturally laundered well. So that there are gaps between the roll and the edges of the vessel (they are needed for irrigation, while moistening occurs at the bottom), 3 sticks are inserted. In some cases, it was necessary to pour the soil between the turns of the strips of substrate.

    Capacity until germination must be tightened with plastic wrap.
    However, the same is done with the usual method of growing seedlings. And in the future there are no differences. When picking and planting seedlings to a permanent place, it is enough to unfold the roll and remove the plants without damage.
