For the best chance of success when starting seeds indoors or in a greenhouse, it’s crucial to begin with clean and sanitized supplies. Young seedlings are vulnerable to fungal and bacterial diseases. Clean trays and containers mean less chance of seedlings dying or “damping off.” Learn how to sanitize seed starting supplies with these simple steps.

I never thought to do this and it makes perfect sense to take the time with preventative measures.Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. 💚 🌻
Thanks for great information. I am in Chandler. We are going to build planter boxes. We were considering 30” tall as I have some back problems bending over. Any input on doing that would be appreciated. 😀
Nice to see you again, Angela
Where did you get your work table at 1:07 in your video?
I've only washed my containers with soap in the sink and called it a day. I'll definitely try sanitizing them next time when they go back into storage. No problems with bacteria or fungi, but I can only be lucky for so long. Fun short video, thanks!
hey, great video! I didn't even think to sanitize my starting trays, but it makes perfect sense.
You can simplify the steps even more – there's no need to rinse off 3% hydrogen peroxide since it decomposes into water and oxygen just sitting there and even a little bit left on the containers will nearly instantly decompose once you put soil into the container. Same is theoretically true for the 12%, but it's pretty potent stuff so… better safe than sorry?
Wow I have never thought of this, good job and thank you for learning us!
Thanks Angela! I ordered some stuff from your links and got two containers ready today based on guidance in your book so I can plant lettuce seeds tomorrow.
