#43: Planting the Seed
As this person points out, repurposing toilet paper rolls and old metal takeout containers as seed starters is a simple and sustainable way to kick-start your gardening endeavors. Toilet paper rolls can serve as biodegradable seedling pots. Fill them with potting soil, plant your seeds, and once your seedlings are ready to transplant, place the entire roll in the ground, cardboard and all.
The cardboard will decompose, providing nutrients to your growing plant. Old metal takeout containers, on the other hand, make excellent mini-greenhouses for germinating seeds. Place the containers over the planted seeds to create a warm and moist environment that encourages germination. It’s a sustainable and cost-effective way to start your gardening journey.
