Toilet paper rolls versus peat pots for seed starting
Comments (16)I, personally, use newspaper pots made from old telephone book pages, just wrap the paper around a couple of fingers to make a cylinder and put one piece of tape on it to hold them together. They have to be stacked close together after you plant the seeds, since they'll lean, but they're easy to water from the bottom. No need to water the surface at all. There's another way to do it, too. Use small paper or styrofoam cups with the bottoms cut out. Turn the cups upside down so the small portion is at the top and punch a couple of drainage holes on the bottom sides. Fill with planting soil and plant your seeds. When it's time to set out the transplants, use a spatula to keep the bottom soil in place to set them in the planting hole. Then just carefully lift the cup straight up and pack the soil around the root ball. Nothing surrounds your transplant then....See MorePaper Towel/Toilet Paper Roll Pots
Comments (28)Another helpful tip I've discovered that makes using the tubes easier is to save the plastic "clamshell" containers that strawberries come in these days. The sides are high enough to help keep a full complement of tubes upright & the bottoms already have plenty of drainage holes. If you cut your tubes short, you can even close the top to make a "mini-greenhouse". I am also finding these plastic clamshell containers invaluable as "mini greenhouses" for seed starting even without using the tubes. Just fill with your soil mix, plant, & close the lid. Not only do these containers work great, but they are durable enough to be used several seasons. I have quite a collection now in all different sizes....See MoreVertical toilet paper holder.... opinions?? Does it work as well?
Comments (2)thanks rrs626, We've had the type where it's just a horizontal single post - like the vertical ones but horizontal. I lOVE them, as you say, easy to replace the roll.... but I wondered how difficult it was to actually get the TP off the vertical type. Anyone else have experience with these?...See MoreThe age old ? about toilet paper
Comments (67)Jasdip, the answer is YES! Now, for this purported issue of can't find the end... Sheesh! 96% of the time it's right there! LOL Staring right at you. How can you NOT find it? It doesn't normally tear off behind the roll like when put on incorrectly. And a little tip, start turning the roll, and you'll usually find it. There's the hint for the day. And I have to wonder, if you can't find the end of the toilet paper with both hands, can you find the other end??? :) I should start selling a new toilet paper product for you people who can't find the end. Pop-up cheek scrape. Works like facial tissue. Set it on the floor, the vanity, edge of the tub or the back of the terlit. But then there's always those who insist on being backward and have it come from the bottom of the box. But that's their problem! :)...See Moreaok27502
