Don’t spend money on seedling pots when you can make them for free from recycled materials that EVERYONE has!
Yes, EVERYONE! These seedling pots are made from recycled toilet paper tubes!
Cut 4 slits … fold TP tube in half for first 2 slits, then fold in half in the other direction for the other 2 slits
Then fold one flap over and crease the edge
Fold the second flap and crease the edge
Fold the third flap and crease
And finally, fold the fourth flap and crease
VOILA!!! You have a “free”, recycled, biodegradeable, “plant the seedling pot and all”, sturdy cardboard pot!!
Fill with soiless seed starter mix, put in a tray (old metal cake pans or foil pans work great!), add water to tray and let the pots soak it up from the bottom (it will moisten the soil at the same time), place a seed or 2 in each pot, cover with plastic wrap, put in a warm place (on top of the fridge is great!)…. and in a week or so your seedlings should be sprouting!
Have fun!
