Burger boxes.

Category: Gardening tips. | Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 2:21 pm

If you want to start geminating small quantities of seeds but don't want a windowsill cluttered up with large seed trays then use the polystyrene hinged burger boxes from those fast food joints. They are perfect!!

Make some holes in the base with a hot knitting needle (or similar) for drainage. The boxes give great insulation and germination is speeded up.

*Be sure to leave the lid open as soon as your seeedlings start appear.

** Drip trays can be made for your 'mini nurseries' by cutting another burger box in half.

Great tip Eileen. Burgers may be unhealthy for humans but at least something can get some benefit from them :)
