How Do You Reuse Disposable Plastic Containers For Gardening?
• Find an empty container and make sure it is very clean. You may need to soak it to remove the food particles. • Poke holes in the bottom for drainage. Use a sharp tool to avoid splitting the plastic. If you are trying hydroponic methods you should look for a sturdy plastic container that is free of cracks and holes. • Fill with potting soil or another planting medium. • Plant your seeds and water as necessary. You can also use these for sprouting and cultivating more plants from larger plants. • Utilize the attached lid on some items. You can close the lid and generate a mini-greenhouse effect, or use it as a plant plate to collect water. Transfer your sprouts to sturdier containers after they have established roots and matured, unless they are a smaller species of plant and you don’t mind the look of the plastic container.
