Make sure you buy non ‘GMO ‘ seeds or there will be no product (no fruit) .
simple cut bottle about 4” high put good bagged pre-pkg soil into bottom, plant a couple of seeds, water then close with top part, tape it if you want, it will form its own system. Place in a sunny window, watch it grow.
Put potting soil in them, dampen it but do not soak, (some potting soil comes dampened), and then drop 15 to 20 seeds in it. Take off the lid and leave it off. Add water as needed maybe each week. You do not have to even bury the seeds in the soil, just drop them on top, they will start. Replant before roots get root bound in individual egg cartons or other small planters and set where they get sun. Do not over water. If you use small paper cups, put your finger in to the first knuckle, if you feel dampness,leave it. If it feels dry, water it well and leave it for about a week and check again.
