Excellent, went and took them out of the trash. =)

[CanarsieBK]

@ElShadaiLives Nice. Just make sure that you have something to plant them in after they sprout.

[SSanf]

Yep! I have started saving them for next year, too. Good on you for passing it on.

[CanarsieBK]

@SSanf Still have plenty to use and more coming.

[MrGreenbudha]

that will give you a lot of reason to save up all those rolls :)

Try push pop icream tubes there coated and wont suck the water out away for the seedlings

[CanarsieBK]

@ernest302 I'll see if I can get my hands on some of those well.

make sure if you don't discard paper roll when transplanting, that you plant it with the paper roll completely under the soil. any exposed paper will actually wick water away from plant and evaporate. just a tip i thought you might employ to prevent future problems. Great vid keep up the good work.

[CanarsieBK]

@1978graham Word. I'll make sure that it's completely in the soil. I've been spraying them down with a mister a few times a day.

I've used this method and have had great success. Because we have chickens I also like to use the "discarded" egg shells. Again, you can just put them in the ground when you get sprouting.

As for seedlings, I have had decent success with the bottom portion of water bottles and soda bottles. When I am done with them I can just throw them in recycling too.

[CanarsieBK]

@anotherkindofdrew Nice man. I need to get some chickens on my balcony since it's so much more spacious than my fire escape.

[ernest302]

that's cool on doing that but on one of my other subscriptions (homesteading) they used paper egg cartons as seed starters and because of the paper sucking the moisture out fast the seedlings were slow to sprout (just a thought) compared to plastic pots

[CanarsieBK]

@ernest302 I have egg cartons as well that I wanna use. I'm sure there are many factors that go into and there is no ideal solution. Gotta just do and find out what works best for us.
