I hear about seed swaps here a fair amount, but the idea of going to the library and ‘checking’ out seeds and then after the harvest ‘checking’ them back in is absolutely brilliant. Often, the hardest thing to manage when moving your seedlings from their pots to bigger planters is the shock of transportation. Grab a plastic hoop, or cut out your own from some cardboard, and create your own mini ring toss game.

It’s most likely they won’t be wearable for very long, but it’s a creative way to keep your little one busy for an afternoon. You can recycle the cardboard in your domestic recycling bin – but what if you could actually use those inner tubes and last scraps of paper in your garden?The cookie also tracks the behavior of the user across the web on sites that have Facebook pixel or Facebook social plugin. Were all of us to be concerned about utilizing whatever is possible, rather than add it all to the ‘nuisance litter’ this planet would have been a better place to be in. WIDE RANGE OF USES: These cardboard rolls can be cut, glued, painted and more to create different designs. I use the pots for peas, beans sweetcorn but the useful tip here is to flatten them at the start to make them square. I have had very mixed results using these for sowing things like runner/french/broad beans and other large seeds and I believe this is due to the composition of these tubes.

I would think the bottoms can be opened up again on my toilet tube pots if needed but this year is really a trial for everything I do with the allotment so I’m really glad for your input and will see how these pots turn out for me throughout the year.

Looks great in corrugated cardboard - you WILL need a box cutter, and you'll probably end up making multiple swords to decorate them in different ways. Other similar cardboard tubes – like kitchen roll tubes – can be composted too but avoid any that have come into contact with forbidden food stuffs (like fats) or excessive chemicals (including detergents or perfumes). Recycling or reusing toilet paper tubes is a great way to make your home more sustainable – as well as being fun for all the family.Tixylix Infant Syrup and Tixylix Children's Syrup are medicines which help to soothe and relieve children's dry and tickly coughs.

I’ve got a number of projects on the go and it’s been a bit of a struggle to actually get one finished!This weekend i dug up some of my prized veg and was absolutely horrified to find that the cardboard tubes had degraded into the soil OK, BUT they had left a plastic layer around where the tube once were. Just take toilet roll and wrap up your little one until their body is covered from head to toe (just be sure to leave out their hands, mouth, feet and eyes!

Hi, I have only used them with the bottoms open because I mainly use them for seeds that develop a long tap root and therefore need a longer tube. You can start more seeds at once, as toilet paper germination takes up less room – a windowsill or two should be enough space. I think I will still try flattening the tubes to square them off though, whether I close the bottom or not. On the other hand, it’s best not to let the paper get too wet either – you don’t want your seeds to be swimming!Take a toilet roll tube (kitchen roll tubes can be cut into two) and squash it flat creating creased edges. I just glued some colourful paper at either end (I like the fact that you could still see the actual tube). My two and three year old love playing with it but it would make a great rainy day project for an older kid.
