#85 Use egg cartons to start seedlings for your garden. It's almost time to start planting your garden! A great use for those empty egg cartons is to start your seedlings indoors. You should use the cardboard egg cartons not the styrofoam ones... To do this simply cut off the top of the carton and add potting soil to each cup. Plant a seedling and then place the egg cartons onto a cookie sheet filled with water. When you are ready to add them to your garden just cut the cups apart and then you can plant the seedling with the cup. The egg cartons will dissolve just like the biodegradable pots you can buy.
