How two simple plastic domes can transform your seed-starting success rate
The Silent Struggle of Every Serious Gardener
Every spring, millions of gardeners face the same heartbreaking scenario: trays of promising seedlings that wither overnight due to inconsistent humidity. Most resort to makeshift solutions – plastic wrap that tears, upside-down containers that block light, or worse, doing nothing and watching germination rates plummet.
“I lost three batches of heirloom tomatoes before realizing my DIY humidity cover was actually suffocating them,” confesses urban gardener Marissa T. from Portland. This is the hidden cost of improvisation – weeks of lost growing time and precious seeds wasted.
Enter the GrowEase 24 Replacement Domes – precision-engineered to maintain the ideal microclimate your seedlings need, made from 100% recycled plastic without compromising durability.
The Science Behind the Simplicity
