Grab your gardening gloves and let’s get those seeds growing!
16 Clever Winter Seed Starting Projects in Egg Cartons
I recommend starting your seeds in egg cartons because:
- Eco-Friendly. Repurposing a biodegradable cardboard egg carton to start a seed that can then be planted right into the soil when the plant is ready is a perfect example of recycling.
- Economical. Starting seeds inside can become costly. Instead of purchasing peat pots, consider using egg cartons or even eggshells as an option to grow seeds in.
- Science Activity for Children. Starting seeds can be a fun educational activity, teaching them about plant growth and recycling.
