If you have children, or children too old for sippie cups, fill up a cup and use that to water your seedlings. That is what I use. I find that it gives each seedling the right amount of water. If not, you can drop another small amount in each. Whatever you feel is the right amount, but you can't overwater. It worked really well for me last summer when my son wouldn't use a sippie cup, except for water. We had tons of them in the house and they weren't being used. So I used them. I am still using them for seedlings. RisaG
