Styrofoam egg cartons make good seed starter. You can grow any kinds of seeds but tiny seeds like Petunia, impatience, coleus etc works well.

The plants which can't be transplanted doesn't do good. Egg carton is very shallow so plants like beans, cucumber etc would not do well.

Ok, so get started.

1. Styrofoam egg carton
2. Potting mix
3. Paint Pen or Sharpie
4. Spray bottle

Method:
1. Take styrofoam egg carton.
2. Wet seed starting mis or potting mix throughly with water.
3. Fill it in Egg carton and level it.
4. Sow your seeds on top of this soil.

9. You might see sprouts in 3-7 days according to the variety of seed.
10. As soon as seed sprouts it needs light.
11. Put them on sunny window sill or under shop light. Petunia, impatience, coleus etc do well on window sill.
