6 Household Items That Make Starting Seeds Easy — And Cheap

When starting seeds, you probably head to your local nursery or home improvement store and look through seeds, or you take a peek at the latest seed catalogs. Then you pick up a bag or two of soil and decide what you’re going to put your seeds in while they grow.
You can buy expensive seed-starting inserts and propagation trays, or you can use materials you already have around your house.
Here are six items in your home you can use to start seeds:
1. General household trash
You can use items milk cartons, yogurt containers and ice cream buckets. Simply clean them thoroughly and punch holes in the bottoms for proper drainage.

2. Newspaper
Newspaper is great for creating seed pots. When your plants are the proper height, you can simply dig a hole and place it, newspaper and all, in the soil. There is a tool specially made for making this type of pot, and you can get them at your local nursery or online. Or even easier, you can use a can or other cylindrical item you have laying around the house.

Simply roll the paper around the can and fold over the bottom to keep in shut. You can use a small piece of tape if you need to, but not too much if it’s plastic tape because it takes too long to degrade. The paper also will help keep weeds away from your plant roots…..More Here
