Before filling and planting, label the container. Remember, labels inside aren’t easily lost; exterior labels are more visible. Use an ordinary pencil on mini-blind slats inside the jug. Most “permanent” markers fade due to weather. Select industrial or paint markers, or grease pencils, for exterior label use. Use potting mix, not soil, in the container. Potting mixes are sterile, weed-free, and don’t compact. In our area, moisture-retentive mixes get too wet for winter sowing. Additional fertilizer isn’t needed, as seedlings are transplanted before they need it. Fill each container three to four inches deep with moistened potting mix, tamping it slightly. Plant seeds at the depth recommended on the seed packet. Add interior labels. Tape or wire containers to keep them closed until the weather warms up. Duct tape works well. Apply a small piece opposite the hinge for stability, then tape around the perimeter to seal the sides. Apply the perforated lids to their wide-mouth containers. Water the containers from the bottom by placing them in a few inches of water. Once the media is saturated, immediately move the containers outdoors. Site them where they will receive natural precipitation and plenty of sunlight. Protect them from being shifted by wind or pets. 5
Trudi began to share the method, starting on the now- defunct GardenWeb.com. Fellow gardeners eagerly tried the technique, loved their successes, and shared further. Trudi continued to expand her skills, eventually teaming with the USDA, where winter sowing is defined officially as “A propagation method used throughout the winter where temperate climate seeds are sown into protective vented containers and placed outdoors to foster a naturally timed, high percentage germination of climate- tolerant seedlings.” Here’s how to winter sow this year. Begin by collecting containers at least 6 inches tall that are clear or translucent, wholly or on the upper surface. Most winter sowers chose milk jugs, but soda and juice bottles, produce containers, take-out quart containers, plastic totes, etc., are all good possibilities. Poke, cut, burn, or drill at least four drainage holes or slits in the bottom of the containers, and additional holes one-half inch up the side if you place the containers on the ground. Discard narrow lids from milk jugs or soda bottles, but keep the wide lids on quart containers, adding holes or slits to allow water to enter. Cut open the sides of bottles or jugs parallel to the bottom about 4 inches above, leaving one side uncut to form a hinge.
