Reuse And Grow A Great Garden!!
Hello, and good morning. Welcome to Its A Mom Life, happy Wednesday. This is a great day for a mom tips and tricks blog!
Do you plant a garden? What do you grow? Last is when do you start your seeds, if you do start your own?
I use to pre buy all my plants that I could not just plant in the ground. That was before tho and after spending so much money as I have a large garden, years ago I set out to start trying to replant some of my own plants. I still buy some from the green house, and try to always get some flowers and plants need to support our loyal greenhouses. As I am from a small town I try to get a little bit from both greenhouses! So what's some tricks that I use when starting seeds?
I have started some seeds already it was the end of February and I do try to start them earlier then that,but life happened and it was the end of the month! Story of my life there haha.
There are so many different products put there to start your own seeds, however all that stuff adds up very fast.
So I would love to share what I use that works just as great!😁 To start the seeds it can be easier to have something not to big to start those little seeds in.
For this I absolutely love individual yogurt containers, these are great to ensure that you get one strong plant to transfer and grow up big and strong. However I don't usually have these as I don't buy individual yogurts for in this house, too many kids for that!
So, what do I use then? Egg cartons are what I go for! These are great to have one plant started in, with these they are also biodegradable also, so when transfering into bigger pots you can just put it all into the pot, and not worry about damaging the roots! Since these are not plastic and will leak water of course I then need something to hold them in.
For this I have some easy reusing ways of making little greenhouses for in my own house!
When you buy fruit in the winter those plastic containers that say grapes come in, don't throw out, these make perfect little greenhouses. Got any of the large plastic containers that you get margerine in, yap those hold lots. You can also use plastic sheets that come with flowers to put on top to insulate it and make a great heated greenhouse for those little seeds. You can also fit rows of egg cartons in them so you don't have to always pre cut into signal squares depending on what you are growing! This year I am trying to preplant some in small rows of cartons, to just put into the garden row, this way they will already be properly spaced for me also!😉
This is my mom tips and tricks for today! Let me know if you liked this gardening blog?
