Is starting seeds on your gardening to-do list?

Great!

Make it fun and interesting and start your seeds in containers, found all over the house.

Here are 5 great recycled seed starting containers that are perfect and inexpensive too:

1. An Egg Carton as a Container for Starting Seeds

These are probably the easiest ways to make a container to house your little seedlings. Simply remove the lid and voila, small compartments for you to fill with earth and your seeds and then, plant them directly. The carton disintegrates into the earth once planted and your plants don’t have to have their roots disturbed.

2. Baby Food Jars Make Great Seed Starting Containers

If you’re a mom with a baby who’s starting solids, all you need to do is save up all those empty baby food jars, discard the lids or maybe, keep them for some recycled crafting and use the jars to fill with soil and plant the seeds.

3. Milk Jugs and Juice Cartons are Easy, Eco Containers for Seedlings

Our homes are probably overflowing with milk jugs and juice cartons. Put them to good use in the garden by lopping off the tops, punching a few holes at the bottom and then, simply filling them with earth and your seeds.
