Holy radicles batman! A different and perhaps more effective approach to seed germination. I have used this method with increased success so I can vouch for it.
I must also add that OUR ENGINEERED GARDEN is a very interesting blog demonstrating many unique techniques applying science and engineering to the art of gardening.

Container garden ideas – Container gardening offers a great deal of flexibility. Pots can be easily moved to alter growing conditions as the sun becomes stronger during the summer months or as surrounding plants fill out and provide too much shade. Potted plants can also be moved to areas where color is needed and then returned to another location at a later time.
