How to Start Seeds Indoors with Less Plastic: Episode 1: Recycled Seed Starting Containers
One of the main issues we can face with seed starting is our reliance on plastic seed starting accessories. This has the potential to be costly each year with the purchase of new seed starting supplies, and it is also not great for the environment.
In this three part series, we are going to focus on ways you can start seeds indoors using less plastic. In this first video we are focused on reusing plastic containers, or repurposing / upcycling containers for seed starting, so we don’t have to be as reliant on new single-use plastics. (Egg carton seed starting is definitely a thing!)
We hope this is a beneficial seed starting video for you.
Thank you for watching!

So glad that you brought this to everyone's attention. 🥰
Great tips for repurposing!!!
Love this. I’ve been using k cups for years. Thank you for sharing
Great ideas, two years ago I bit the bullet and got bootstrap farm trays, made in the USA and incredibly strong. Well worth the money for long term seed starting.
I use the used keurig pots …small, but mighty!
Amazon has a gadget that removes the top on the k cups.
Where do I get a watering lid like that?
Thanks for sending me seeds! I'll be planting some of them this weekend.
I always use and reuse
Thanks for the info great video.
I love the idea of using old Kcups! I repurpose old rimmed baking trays to make moving a lot of little containers easier 😊
Great idea for a series; excited to see what comes next… seed blocker and a metal lunch tray???
❤❤❤
