Gardening Tip: RECYCLE:Save Nature and Money, make your surroundings beautiful


Right now, I am in Austin, Texas and I find the cost of flower planters too high since I want to grow variety of flowers and second thing, which comes into my mind how to grow the seeds separately for each variety before planting them into different flower pots or in the bed on the ground.

I look around and visited many garden centers and struck with an idea. I looked back in my home. I found the containers of 5 or 3 liters/gallons either of curd, oil, milk. You can use the paint buckets. One of the interesting thing is Birthday Cake Covers and egg holders. They are big and suitable for growing seeds and to make shift the plants.

Make small hole in base of the container which ever you choose from above and cover it with pebble so that it can drain out the access water. In pots, Put some loose soil mixed with compost fertilizer and overall mixture should be loose. Spread the seeds on the top of soil and spread the mixture of soil and manure so that they can be covered. Water it gently either by dropper or anything which make water not to come by pressure.

Depending on the seeds requirement, put them in sun or shade and water them properly as per their requirement.

Wait for 1 week or so, you will find your home grown nursery without much efforts and you can distribute the plants to your neighborhood and in this way, we can live in beautiful surrounding and belonging and help the nature by recycling.

Gift the flower plant instead of bouquet.
