Biodegradable Seed-starter Pots! I just read the neatest tip in the March issue of Mother Earth News. Use empty toilet paper rolls to make biodegradable seed starter pots.
~Cut each roll in half & press it flat.
~Make four, half-inch to three-quarter inch slices on one end of the roll to create four equal-sized flaps.
~Open up the roll & fold in the four little flaps like a box bottom. This is your seed pot.
Fill the "pot" with potting soil, plant your seeds & water gently. Put the seed pots under grow lights until they are ready to go outdoors. When you are ready to plant, you can either pull the cardboard away from the soil & put the plant in the ground, or simply unfold the bottom & plant the whole pot-the cardboard will slowly disintegrate.
This sounds like a neat idea I will have to try this Spring!
