Containers for seedlings

By collecting a large number of cardboard cylinders, the gardener will save himself from having to purchase containers for seedlings.

After all, bushings can very well play this role.

It is enough to make cuts in the lower part of each cylinder and bend the resulting rectangles.

The result will be excellent cups for seedlings, which can then be safely placed directly into the soil.

Mulching material

Cardboard tubes can also be used as mulch.

The material perfectly retains moisture and heat in the soil cover.

In addition, the risk of weeds appearing is reduced.

Creating warm beds

Toilet paper rolls will also come in handy for a summer resident who wants to create warm beds.

The bottom layer should be lined with cardboard material.
