Hi... I don't know if anyone else does this, but I use these in the first months of my seeding, and they work great!
Take one of those plastic carriers you get cakes in from the store. The clear ones, they usually have a black bottom, and a 4 or 5" top. I flip them over so the top is the bottom, and poke a few holes in it with a knife. Lay a couple layers of cheesecloth in it, then fill with your favorite seed starting formula. Simply place your seeds in there, and just place the cover on it, slightly askew so that it can breath. I place mine in my south facing bay window, and the black "top" absorbs the heat and makes a great little seed oven. You have to make sure you let it breath, or you'll have a mess. I place mine on old seed flat trays so they don't drain on my window. If you need more room after your seedlings have grown above the rim, simply place another of the clear sections on top. It works great, and I hope this made sense!
