Where to get dome for seedlings and clones

Hi folks. I went to lowes and asked for one of those greenhouse domes to start clippings in and they looked at me like I was crazy. Anyone have a home made recipe for a functional pan and lid to make a container for your clones and seedlings to grow in, maybe a while coller with plastic wrap on top?

Also, I purchased some of those little peat pots, the kind you soak and the swell up and make a bag of soil. These things dry out so easily, and I had sprouted some seeds in paper towels, put one each on some of those peat pots and the seedlings won't grow, it's been 4 days. The seeds had sprouted in the paper towels and yet nothings showing after 4 days. Everytime I look in the grow closet, the things are dry. i spray them good but they dry out so fast. I guess this goes back to why i am asking on how to make a home made dome for these things to keep them moist.

The other day i saw some of the little tiny bathroom cups at the dollar store. I think I would rather put some real soil in some of these to set my sprouted seeds in.

Home depot has exactly what you are looking for. I just bought one last weekend. They are right by the door leading to the garden center. Check it out.

The nearest HD is like 50 miles away. Again, and ideas for a home made dome?

I dunno if this will help but I had mine in some soil in a couple of those fiberboard flats u get eggs in.It worked for me to get em goin an then I transplanted after a couple weeks.

Use Tupperware, simple to work with, easy to customize with a cordless drill. Good luck

I use clear plastic cups. That way each one has their own little humidity dome.

i use clear rubbermaid containers, the kind you'd store leftover thanksgiving turkey in. flip it upside down, and you have a water pan and a humidity dome

Some people use those plastic tops you get when you buy a cake. Save them if you get a chance they work great.

i'm one of 'em they work the greatest!!

they don't last that long though, i always end up breaking them and waiting for the next birthday to roll around

They do break. That is the bad part.
