How to Make a Mini Greenhouse and Recycle at The Same Time

it's useful when u knew when n how to use it


1. Collect some plastic containers from around the house. My favorite is the plastic egg cartons because they already have 12 built in little pods. I also like the plastic berry containers. These are great because they already have holes in the bottom which will prevent you from over-watering.

2. Add some potting soil to each container / pod as well as your seeds and/or seedlings. Moisten with some water - not too much though - just enough to soak through. Close the lid and place in direct sunlight - such as on a window sill.

3. After a few days / weeks (depending on the seed) you will begin to see them pop through the soil. Once they reach the top of the container - pop the lid slightly so they have some extra room. Once they out grow the container you will need to transplant to a larger pot or into the ground.
