Once the seeds are on the tape, is there a cover for them until you are ready to plant in garden?

They are ready to plant with no cover. I found that with root crops like carrots and radishes, tape needed to be placed in the ground vertically. Otherwise, young plants get crooked trying to grow around the tape. The tape works well. Be aware that rain and birds may uncover it. All the best!

What I usually do is reattach the original wax paper backing over the seeds. It's easier to get the backing on straight if you cut you tape into shorter strips, about a foot long.

about 100ft. If you have the time and patience to place the seeds on the tape, good, but you can buy seeds already on tape at home depot and other garden stores. dave

No cover, it comes very condensed from air removed from it for shipping, when opened it poofs right up over a day or two. But no a cover doesnt come with it. If using alone, get thick one

Mine came with a vinyl cover that can be applied. I prefer mine without so I just chuck them. I just received 2 of these from Amazon several days ago.

Yes. The seeds are in a plastic container that lifts out, and you can use the wooden planter for additional refills.

My instructions were on a 3"x 2 1/2" piece of paper attached to the seed packet. Hopefully you've save all of the packing materials...? If not, write to the third party seller and explain the situation. They should be willing to help you out.

i had the posts, so i just used them to cover my beans because i wanted to pick underneath them, but i suppose you could just lay it on top of whatever you want to protect.fyi - depending on what you are wanting to keep the deer away from, i have foundthat the weed barrier (for the ground) works the best. they can't stand walking on it, & you have abonus of no weeds, less water usage, clean product, no rot (pumpkins) & warms the soil fora product like tomatoes! ":-) i roll it up & use it year after year.

The cover is about 1 in. out. It covers pretty well, seed doesn't get too soggy. I put a second tray about 1/2 in. under the feeder that is sticks out about another 1 in. or so to catch all the stuff the sparrows throw out and that one gets pretty soggy when it rains.

No, they don't. But they hold together very well. Have them in an inch or so of water for 2 or more weeks while my lettuce, tomatoes, or spinach seeds germinate and are ready for planting. No problems.

No, you don't want to vacuum pack the seeds. We package them so that they are ready to store either long or short term. Seeds are living organisms and they do need some air in order to be viable for long term storage so you can either store them in the laminated foil bag we supply or you can remove them and store the individual bags in glass jars with reseal-able lids. Just follow the directions in our downloadable PDF Planting, Sprouting and Storing Guide and you'll be fine. Thanks for the question.

You do not require a cover the plants don't not need to be in a dome. The plants are continuously being sprayed underneath the manifold therefore high humidity is not required

I have not received my package yet but here is a couple places that might help. http://www.seedsavers.org/Education/Seed-Saving-Instructions/ also http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=seed+saving+techniques Hope this helps.

Ours did not come with a shade cover. There are stakes for grommet holes around the outside of the greenhouse but you will have to buy additional stakes from another source if you want to use the four tie-down 'ropes' (they are strings) that come with it. I am contacting the company to request that a shade cover be sent but most reviewers say a reply should not be expected.

The clear plastic seed tube (which is very heavy duty) fits inside of the all metal mesh shroud. The top rim of the seed tube fits about 1/2" below the top cover of the metal shroud. If it was sealed there would condensation and you don't want that. I have had some very heavy rain storms this spring and surprisingly the seeds have not gotten wet. But normally I have to fill it everyday anyway. I believe if you purchase one, you will delightfully worry more about keeping it fill with seed than the rain getting in!! Happy Birding!

I use a mesh seed guard like this one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=20947&cmpid=04csegpl&ref=6111&subref=AA&CAWELAID=525384260&CAGPSPN=pla&catargetid=530005150000090886&cadevice=c I got mine at a local bird supply store. They are pretty cheap and when they get dirty, you can throw them in the washing machine.

You can safely put your preen down first before seeding and then after seeding three months later sprinkle preen around seedlings will not hurt vegetables but keep your garden weed free hope this answer your question
