Micro Greenhouses ideas

container greenhouse1.What can be a better way to reuse these handy little containers than to make a mini greenhouse in which you can start seeds and propagate cuttings. This no work micro greenhouse project is quick, handy and best of all—it’s practically free.

3.This is a very easy way to start some seedlings.  Just find two plastic cups, one of which must be clear to allow light through.  If you are re-purposing the cups make sure they are clean.  Fill the bottom cup with a seed starting mix and water.  Put your seeds in the cup and cover the seeds with an appropriate depth of soil then add a little bit more water.  Don’t add to much water – we don’t want the seeds to rot.  Cover with a clear cup and tape the sides.
