Dr Robby, In your article How To Grow Plants From Seeds it states: Place the plastic drinking cup in the zip lock bag and place them on a window sill that gets some direct light during the day. Fill the zip lock bag with water until there is about one inch of water at the base of the plastic cup. Do not close the zip lock bag. When I add one inch of water at the base of the cup does this mean the cup is sitting in one inch of water? Thanks, Prentiss

Hi Prentiss! Dr. Ian is now in the house... but I digress! So yes to answer your question, you would want to have the cup submerged in the water about an inch. The holes on the bottom of the cup will allow moisture in but just enough to keep the soil wet for germination and not to drown the seeds themselves. A great method for sure... too many times people forget to keep their seeds moist and they dry out before germinating correctly. This method eliminates that from happening. I hope this helps Prentiss! Please follow up if you have any more questions about getting your seeds started! Best!~ Ian
