I'm a beginner at indoor gardening and I'm eager to try starting plants from seeds this year. So far, I've built a mini greenhouse using a cardboard egg carton and plastic wrap to keep the moisture in, but I'm not seeing any sprouting yet. I'm trying to make use of materials I already have instead of purchasing new supplies, so I'm wondering if anyone has some reliable DIY seed starter setups that are simple to create with everyday items?

I love the DIY approach! Your cardboard greenhouse is a cool idea. You might want to check out some videos for more inspiration. One great method is substituting rockwool for other materials you might have, like cotton balls or packing foam. That can really help with the moisture retention. Let me know how it goes!
It's great that you're experimenting with a mini greenhouse! The success of seed starting often depends on the type of seeds and how long they've been in the soil. What seeds did you plant? Make sure they are suitable for indoor starting. Also, humidity and warmth are key, so keep that in mind!
I planted both cat grass and catnip, and they've been in the soil for about 1.5 to 2 weeks.
