You can use your recycled glass greenhouses to create a tiny microclimate with a high humidity. This is useful for germinating seeds in place in your edible landscape, propagating cuttings directly where you want your future plants, and for decreasing transplant shock when transferring indoor seedlings to the outdoors.

Here comes the noisy part. have to do this? No, of course not. I just find that allowing seedlings to have free access to flowing air helps to keep them healthier. Otherwise, you might want to remove the jars or bottles a couple times a week to let in fresh air. Drilling holes for aeration also allows your seedlings to freely adapt to changing weather conditions on the outside of their personal glass greenhouses. This is good for when you are attempting to adapt plants to colder weather or warmer weather, whichever may be the case, without throwing them into shock and killing your precious plants.
