Bootstrap Farmer / Seed starting
This low humidity dome is a propagation accessory for compatible 1020 trays, not a miniature greenhouse to leave over growing seedlings indefinitely. The manufacturer lists a nominal 2.5-inch height, two adjustable vents, a frosted surface and a handle. It rests on a tray rim rather than sealing to it, which is an important distinction if you expect a locking transport cover. The shallow format can be useful for germination-stage moisture management where shelf clearance is limited, but it will not accommodate every pot-and-insert combination. Bootstrap Farmer specifically excludes several of its taller pot sets and warns against direct-sun use. Its page also contains an inconsistent height in one prose sentence, so use the product's nominal size only after checking fit if clearance is tight. Choose the clear option rather than the separate blackout variant when light transmission is required.
