"Freezer" bags/cling film instead of propagator lids?

GhostWarrior

Is this a viable option? Propagator lids seemed really expensive, and I remember my grandfather using cling film when I was a wee boy, so I just bought the trays and insets lol

I've got the seed trays sitting on my window sill just now covered with "freezer" bags.

Yes. that's how I started my chilli seeds last year

Just about any clear plastic bag will do as long as it can keep the heat and moisture in

Last year I used propagator lids, cling film, clear plastic bags and whitish plastic bags to start of all my seeds.

I also used a propagator, small plant pots, yogurt pots and fruit trays - peach/nectarine/grape and blueberry to sow seeds in.

I use the "free" plastic bags you put veg in at supermarkets, no problems, plus they are perforated, so do allow some air circulation
