Keep Your Toilet Paper Rolls if You Are a Gardener: Here's Why

Seedling Pots: Cut the toilet paper roll into smaller sections, about 2-3 inches high. Stand them up on a tray or in a shallow container. Fill them with soil, and plant your seeds inside. The cardboard will decompose into the soil as the plants grow, adding nutrients to the earth.

Compost Bin Addition: Instead of throwing away toilet paper rolls, add them directly to your compost bin. They break down quickly, providing fiber and carbon, which are essential for creating a balanced compost mixture.

Plant Supports: If you’re growing tall or climbing plants, use toilet paper rolls as temporary supports. Cut them into rings and place them around the base of plants to help guide their growth.

Pest Control: Place small pieces of toilet paper roll around the base of your plants to prevent soil-borne pests from accessing the roots.
