    1. Soil - loose enough for the seeds’ roots to penetrate
    2. Water - just enough
    3. Humidity - greenhouse to keep the moisture
    4. Heat - important to note especially when temperatures are dropping outside; use heat pads if necessary
    5. Light - to avoid leggy seedlings; adding a fan is optional

Carrots always get leggy and I fight to try and put more soil on them while they’re planted in a bucket and then also testing out in one of my built raised beds. I would love to try the container for humidity but if I try that, do I keep it in the shade or sun? Also when it grows in it and the lid of course is not as tall as the lettuce 🥬or so would grow, do I open it and leave it?
