The official first day of spring is March 20th. I for one could not be more excited.
This spring I actually have yard space to start a vegetable garden.
Starting a garden from seed takes time but it is easy and rewarding.
An easy way to start your spring seeds is using biodegradable seed pots.
This makes later transplanting of the grown seeds into the ground simple,
the seed pots decompose as the plant grows.
These biodegradable seed pots are simple to make.
All you need is an empty bathroom tissue roll, and a pair of scissors.
Using the scissors snip the cardboard roll the in half.
Place the sniped cardboard tube into a plastic bowl. Add soil to the inside of the cardboard tubes, this forms a biodegradable seed pot. If needed add a rubber band around the outside of the cardboard tube for extra reinforcement. Add seeds, and place in a well lit windowsill. Remember to keep the soil moist.
In a week or so your seeds should begin to sprout.
I hope this encourages you to start a few seeds for a garden of your own.
