🧻🌱With all the excess toilet paper we have in our homes nowadays! 😂
I use them to make toilet paper seed pots and get a head start on my planting season. It couldn’t be easier.
Make Your Seed Pots
All you need to begin is
-a collection of toilet paper rolls,
-scissors,
-light potting soil,
-seed and a
-waterproof container
1.Cut the toilet paper roll in half
2.Make four cuts in the roll, 1/3 of the way up
3.Fold the cut area on the bottom like you would close a box
4.Fill your new seed pots with a light potting soil, pack it down with your thumbs – it’s that simple
5.Next Add Your Choice of Seed, 6.Planting Them to Their Proper Depth.
7.Place the planted pots in a watertight container and give them a good watering.
8.You want to completely soak the paper roll and keep it wet the whole time you are growing. Go lightly with the water though, you do not want them to sit in water, just to be wet. If the paper roll dries out, it will wick water from the soil.
9.Enjoy - Put them near a window sill or light source.
😃What other forms of recycled material do you use for your seeds or garden?
