My homemade seed starters are pretty modest compared to the mini-greenhouses that are available commercially. However, the recycled egg cartons fit perfectly on my kitchen windowsill and the herb, vegetable and flower seedlings are removed shortly after germination to cell packs anyway, so durability is not an issue.
It's always heartening in the last dregs of winter to see little sprouts emerging and reaching for the light. While some seeds obviously take longer to germinate, it gives great satisfaction (and patience) to nurture them into growing, which makes the project a perfect lesson for the fast-forward children of today!
