Milk Jug Mini-Greenhouses

​Start hardy annual or perennial seeds outdoors in winter in a recycled milk jug or plastic juice  container.  Follow this link for instructions.

FOR OUTDOOR SEED-STARTING: Poke drainage holes in bottom, cut gallon jugs 2/3 of the way down and leave one surface attached as a hinge. Sow seeds into dampened planting medium, use duct tape to seal until germination. (Leave pouring spout uncapped).

Seed Bombs

Planting is fun and easy when you  start a wildflower corner or a lettuce patch by tossing a "bomb" or two of seed-filled compost into a garden spot.  Follow this link for instructions.

BRIEF HOW-TO: Mix equal parts compost and bentonite clay; add seeds and water; form into ~ 1-1/2-inch balls and let dry.
