FRUIT/VEGGIE CONTAINERS
It's important that the plastic containers have holes on the bottom so water can drain.
Fill the container 1/2 full of soil. Add seeds then cover with additional soil. Add water and close the lid.Place the container in full sun, but remember to keep the soil moist.
Open the lid once the seedlings reach the top of the container. Plant, or repot, seedlings in the ground when they reach 1 - 2 inches tall.
2 LITER BOTTLES
During the colder months I used a 2 liter soda bottle as a terrarium for growing parsley. I cut off 1/4 the bottom of the bottle and fit it over the pot and used a tab from a bread bag to keep it from wobbling off.
I kept it in my kitchen window, removing the cap during the afternoon to let it cool.

I love this idea! I remember when I first saw it I thought you had somehow grown a plant in there! Going green, literally!
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a reason why I keep everything! You just helped me validate my collections!!
ReplyDeleteYes, blogging has certainly validated keeping all these things around. Husband kept throwing "my things" in the recycle bin.
