When we go to the bathroom and realize we’ve run out of toilet roll we need to drop the cardboard roll in the center and this is a huge waste.
Yes, why? they are very useful on the balcony or in the garden. Let’s see how we can use them, we’re sure you’ll be speechless and wonder why you didn’t think of it before.
Here is their use for toilet paper rolls
Having something in our homes that we can reuse and give new life toa allows us to save money but also to make an object special which we would have thrown in the trash. Today we want to reveal to you how we can use toilet paper rolls in a very useful way.
You’d never think it but they are excellent for making containers for planting. Yes, you read that right, it’s a zero-cost idea that we need to give life to seedlings for our vegetable garden.
Empty scrolls are gods perfect biodegradable jars. But how can we do it? Let’s start by saying that we need a hailstone cardboard box. Like a cutter, we remove one side to let in light and also to water and grow the plants.
We place our rolls next to each other, they should be nice and tight, until the box is full. By doing this they stay nice and straight even when we put soil in them. We must choose a soft and perfect substrate for sowing.
Obviously let’s put some seeds, but what? We can choose tomatoes, zucchini or aromatic herbs. So we would have created our own nursery at home that we can put on a windowsill or balcony, but it needs to be repaired.
A few little tips about our rolls. Obviously we leave the ones that don’t have any kind of flavor, then we cut them all into 6/8 cm, make 4 small cuts at the bottom to create a kind of tabs at the bottom.
When we need to water, we obviously do it with an atomizer or a watering can with a fine spout. When our plants have two/three green leaves we can put them in our balcony garden or, if we are lucky, in the ground garden.
We bury directly with our roll because, being biodegradable, it breaks down as the plant grows. This way we would have used very little plastic, saving money but with a super result. We advise you to do it if you have young children, this way you will learn about the cycle of life.
Gardening then helps our mood and allows us to release the stress we have built up during the day. How do we avoid mold formation? Let’s avoid it water stagnationlet the air circulate and water only when we see that the soil is drying.
In very few steps and practically at zero cost we gave a new life to containers that would have gone to the trash.
