tp seedling pot (feddit.org)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Boppel@feddit.org to c/gardening@lemmy.world

Seedling pot made from an empty toilet paper roll. After germination, it can be buried directly in the garden bed as is; the roots will grow through the softened cardboard, and soil organisms will then consume it. Make sure to only use toilet paper rolls made from unchlorinated and unprinted cardboard.

edit: please check if recycling has a problem with chemicals or heavy metals in your country

I just did a bunch of seedling starts the same way and it worked perfectly. The cardboard was soft enough for roots to break through.
