Biodegradable Seed starting pots

why make your own seed starting pots?

• You've got the materials already
• They don't have to look good

the environmental benefits

• You're repurposing "waste" materials
• The pots biodegrade - plant 'em and leave 'em

Toilet paper rolls

• Paper towel rolls work also
• You also need scissors

• Fill 'em up, cut 'em up
• Group companion plantings

eggshells

• Break eggs carefully
• Rinse out; poke holes in bottom
• Fill 'em and plant 'em

newspaper

• You literally need nothing else
• You can also use papier-mâché: http://goo.gl/Gx7xDA

fruit & vegetable rinds
