Take a 3-liter plastic bottle, cut of the very bottom so it's level.
Punch 3 or 4 holes in the neck (the bottle's, not your neck ya durn fool ya); discard the cap.
After you plant a seed or seedling, cover with the bottle and push the bottle down into the soil 3" or 4", then prop up with sticks.
That's all there is too it.
The mini-greenhouse will protect your seed/seedling from insects, birds, heavy rain and provide a warmer environment for superior growth.
When the plant grows to where the leaf tips are touching the inside of the bottle, simply remove it.
At this point you may want to erect a "cage" of chicken wire around each plant to protect it from rodents, deer, etc. Leave out a few small cereal bowls 1/4 full of beer overnight to get rid of snails/slugs.

. I did the same thing for a single clone (for sexing) using a peanut buster parfat from dairy queen with the clear plastic top. Taped up the bottom to stop light from hitting the roots. instant humidity dome. But yours would work even better for larger clones too.
