Hi: I started my seeds in trays(the type that is flat on top when the
individual plugs were filled with the germinating medium) and I laid
newspaper over top(no light gaps were apparent) I removed the paper
every two days to water my seeds and put it immediately back on.

A second way was to put the whole tray inside a black garbage
bag(delphinium and there was quite high germ% with this method.

Good Luck; Wanda in Nova Scotia
