Mini toilet roll tubes for seeds

Do not discard the toilet rolls centers.

  • Use a pen that will not run to name the toilet roll with the seeds name.
  • Screw a little piece of newspaper and place it into the bottom of the toilet roll container.
  • Fill each tube with potting soil.
  • Place the toilet rolls on a tray.
  • Plant one seed into each container.
  • Water as required.
  • Watch grow until ready to transplant.
