as I like to call them, poor man&#8217;s peat pots.\u00a0 I always cut along the hinge of the carton to separate the top and bottom, then flip the top upside-down and set the bottom inside of it.\u00a0 By the time you&#8217;re ready to put the seeds in the ground the cardboard will be starting to disintegrate, so you will appreciate the extra stability that the lid will add!\u00a0 And because the carton biodegrades just like a peat pot, when it comes time to plant the seedlings in the ground you can just tear apart the sections and pop them right into the ground!<\/p>\n<p><a

made an amazing discovery.\u00a0 I have a whole stack of large food storage containers that I bought at Dollar Tree late last year and used to hold the dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies I made as gifts.\u00a0 These containers are the perfect size to hold two egg cartons!\u00a0 I pour the water into the container through a little gap at the edge and the seeds are watered from below, keeping them evenly moist as well as avoiding washing the seeds around by watering from above.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/colorful-flower-pots.jpg\"><img

pocket shoe rack planter.\u00a0 I bought my shoe rack from Family Dollar and I like it because it&#8217;s made from the same material as reusable grocery bags.\u00a0 Since it&#8217;s kind of meshy in nature, the excess water drains by itself; if I had gotten one with plastic pockets, it would need drainage holes to be added.\u00a0 I&#8217;m in a cooler climate so the darker color is okay, but if you live someplace really hot you might want to look for a lighter colored shoe rack to avoid overheating the roots or constantly the soil drying out.<\/p>\n<p>I nailed it to the wall of one of the sheds in my yard and planted it full of beans.\u00a0 I plan to get two more as well so I can grown three different kinds of beans!\u00a0 (Green, red, and yellow!)<\/p>\n<p><a

anything different than my store.\u00a0 Wouldn&#8217;t you know it, they had an entire shelf full of liners&#8230;\u00a0 But not a basket in sight!\u00a0 (I think it&#8217;s the universe telling me to take more shopping road trips, right?)\u00a0 I bought several baskets there, including the two here on the left and right; I had some gift cards for Home Depot, which I used to get the basket in the
