Egg Cartons For Seedlings |
|
|
Paper egg cartons work wonders for starting your seedlings! Cut off the top of the carton and place under the egg compartments. Add seedling mix and seeds. When you water, the paper carton will hold the moisture for a long time and it adds support for handling. When you're ready to transplant, just break off each section. You can plant the biodegradable carton sections, with the seedling, to reduce transplanting shock.

Tip: Egg Cartons For Seedings
Collect the cardboard egg containers during the winter and use them to start your seeds indoors in. Cover them with plastic wrap, venting them a bit until the plants start to come up.

RE: Egg Cartons For Seedings
The best thing about this tip is that the individual egg cups can be cup apart with a sturdy pair of scissors and the whole thing can be planted, much like a peat pot. This will avoid disturbing tiny seedlings' roots and give your plants a head start.
Don't try it with the styrofoam ones, tho. The plastic won't disintegrate like the paper. (04/09/2007)
