Packaging Materials

Make Great Containers

Packaging materials, both natural and man-made, can be given a second life by starting seeds indoors.

• Egg containers made of styrofoam and papier-mache are reliable, seed-starting trays. Punch a hole in the bottom of each egg socket, then fill with light potting mix. The lid becomes the bottom tray to catch excess water.
