Here is a pic of a easy and inexpensive setup for starting seeds for the young tortoises. I put a piece or cloth in the top half to use as a wick and to keep the soil from coming out the bottom after the top is turned over and placed into the bottom half.Growing in this one is bird seed and is ready to feed to the tortoises.Sometimes I cover them with half of another bottle to hold the moisture in, depends on the seeds being used. One good thing is the soil stays moist without daily watering. Len
