The awesome thing about using toilet paper rolls (or making little pots out of newspaper) is that they’re biodegradable–so you don’t have to worry about disturbing the roots when you transplant into a pot or the ground.

You can also put old clear plastic bags (no matter how much we try to avoid them, I think most of us end up w/some–the greens we get from our CSA often come parceled out in one) over the trays of toilet paper tube seed pots in order to keep the moisture in.

I recommend newspaper cups. You can plant your spouts cup and all when the time comes, and they are easy to make.
Cardboard cores from t-paper and paper towels make nice starter pots also. Cut t-paper cores into two pots, paper towel cores into 3 or 4.

Now leave me alone… I got my face pressed up against the window waiting for my “Goat Worms” to arrive…

Here’s a few more tips…

Recycle that old fish aquarium that the kids are using to throw dirty socks in, and turn it into a mini greenhouse. They work perfect for starting seeds.

And when they sprout, transplant them into old rain gutters mounted on the south side of your house and use it for planting beds. You can space them every few feet apart. You’ll get a killer green wall outta it, and it won’t take up any of your yard.

Strawberries love this, by the way….
