Save Cereal Liners For Hot House Covers

I save the liner bag from cereal boxes; they are like heavy wax paper. They make great hot house covers for plant starts or to protect small garden plants from early spring frost. When they are used in the garden, they need to be weighed down with soil or stones to prevent the wind from blowing them. They can also be used for children's snacks, etc.

I save cereal liners all the time. They come in handy for many things. I use alot for camping, fold them down and have a quick bowl. for backup baggies for leftovers. I've even used for plant starters with water. A great tip!
