How to Reuse Toilet Paper Rolls to
Start Seeds
 Reusing
is the step prior to recycling in
the common phrase, "Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle." Reusing allows items to be
used up, rather than using resources
to recycle them into another
product. By reusing, we reduce
waste! Look into your recycle bins
and see which items you can reuse.
Here is a tip for reusing toilet
paper rolls to start, or germinate,
seeds. |

Instructions |
|
|
|
|
|
Step
1 |
 |
Save your empty toilet paper rolls. |
|
Step
2 |
|
Cut each of them in half. |
Step
3 |
|
Going around the end of the toilet
paper roll, gently press in creating
a bottom. |
Step
4 |
|
When you are finished, the bottom of
your new seed starting cup should
look like this. |
Step
5 |
|
Arrange all of your seed starting
cups together. |
Step
6 |
 |
Fill your new seed
starting cups with dirt. Place a
seed in the center of each one.
Water them daily. Within a few days,
your seeds will begin to sprout.
When you transplant the sprouts to
your
garden,
be careful to support the bottom of
the cup with your hand. This will
prevent the dirt from falling out.
You can place the cups directly in
the garden. You do not need to tear
the paper away. |
