Seed Pod Instructions:
An outdoor garden is great, but putting plants
out too early can put them at risk of under
nourished, eaten, frosted and more. Start
your little seedlings indoors affordably with
these super simple pods that fit nicely on a
windowsill.
1. Remove any leftover toilet paper from
your roll.
2. Cut the roll in half.
3. Make four cuts about 1” deep evenly
around one end of the tube.
4. Fold the ends in (much like closing a box).
5. Place a folded a square of TP in the bottom
of the planter to keep dirt from spilling out
of the bottom.
6. Fill with soil and plant your seed!
