You can use empty plastic take out boxes with lids so you don’t have to go out & buy pencil boxes - free!😊😊

[@simonesmit6708]

Excellent idea......if you get take out.

[@NMW80]

Yep that’s what I use. I use all sorts of throw away containers lol but the pencil cases do look good and can be reused for a very long time etc.

[@beckymurphy6728]

This is what I'm doing this week because I've been saving them but I still want the pencil boxes, ugh!

[@plantabundance]

Cool idea to ensure a future harvest! Anything to make gardening easier ftw. Cheers!

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

I like it better than plastic bags, THANKS!

[@monagriggs6352]

Love your humming bird necklace Robbie 🥰🥰

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Years ago I went to a bead show, and a lady had a bunch, and I only bought 2, I could kick my self now...LOL THANKS so Much!

[@stephaniespang7103]

Genius idea! I was just going to run out and buy some seed trays but now I’m going to try this method. Thank you!

[@ndlz1]

🙏 I learn so much from you Ms. Robbie.🤗 Best teacher.🥰😊

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Wow, thank you! ❤️

[@lyndasimpson4085]

Me too. Thank u Robbie

[@par4451]

I have a couple of those pencil box laying around my house, I definitely can use them, thank you Robbie.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

OH, it works PERFECT! Thanks!

[@jlseagull2.060]

I have used clear plastic food containers like the shape and depth of pencil boxes. But not multi-layers. Such a great idea. Robbie, you are so creative 👍

[@arthuurwong49]

Or take- out containers - free!😀

[@josiebridges3583]

[@patriciatinkey2677]

Thanks! I'm trying to cut down on single use plastics, like 'baggies' so this tip is both timely & terrific! Lovely outfit today as well! We really appreciate your videos 😍🍀

[@terebrown2892]

And between planting sessions/seasons you can store your radishes in them in the fridge.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Yes, thanks 😊

[@janmclellan8963]

Boy I have to make a list what a great idea ! Robbie your brain goes way faster than I can keep up with what a wizard you are Thankyou!!!!

[@noraalvarado8178]

Your so right ! I have now found things cheaper at other stores for a dollar where the dollar store is now 1.25.

[@HealyMeans]

hi robbie 🤗 another great video and garden idea. tfs

[@DyesubDave]

I use the leftover plastic containers that mushrooms from the grocery store come in. I use a soldering iron to melt a few holes in the bottom for drainage. If I need to cover them plastic wrap works fine or I can use a clear tote lid to cover several at a time if necessary. We all recycle/throw out a lot of plastic so might as well re-purpose it for something useful. 👍😎

[@markoliver4194]

I heard you mention to put seed starter trays on top of the fridge? for warmth. I was actually thinking about that a few weeks ago, instead of buying a heat mat. My room temp. is 75 and the top of the fridge was 78 degrees, ideal for starters.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

That’s a perfect place to start seeds, it’s just a little warmer than the room

[@emylytle7149]

That’s a great idea for me that I always forget what vegetables i germinate 😬 thank you Robbie 😊🙏🏻👍👍👩‍🌾♥️♥️♥️

[@AniFam]

Awesome~👍 Thank you for sharing these ideas~🤗

[@Yayatrucker53]

Oh! I really like this idea. Robbie I love your necklace, very pretty hummingbird ❤

[@autismparentingguide]

I never really understood seed starting. thanks for sharing! I just put mine into the soil a little bit and water them each day if the soil is dry and keep them in a shady area until i see little seedlings then put them out in the sun for a few days until theyre a little bigger then put them in full sun if they require it and its been working

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

You must do whatever works for you and if that’s working, just go for it

[@homesteaderfiftywmartha603]

Bubble wrap - I made a splint for my broken wrist using some bubble wrap and card board! Long story - but it worked! And x ray shows perfect healing PTL I don’t need surgery!

[@homesteaderfiftywmartha603]

For some reason every cast has made my arm swell 3x bigger ( even at 4 weeks post break !)- my blood pressure is fine and normal - maybe I have shallow veins - and circulation is being restricted? Maybe I have a rebellious arm !😲😂- idk but gauging , bubble wrap with card board splint worked perfectly with no circulation problems - bubble wrap is an asset!

[@lynettetucker544]

Thanks Robbie it’s a little mini greenhouse for the seedlings 🌱 good idea 👍🏾.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

You bet, you got it and it works fantastic. Thanks so much. ❤️😊

[@mistyriennett5902]

This is such a great idea. I always did the Ziploc bags method but you use so many ziploc bags. This is a great money saver using pencil boxes.

[@xennialprepping]

Yes, just that the photo case does keep it all handy in one spot. I have 2 of those cases, but I use one for sewing supplies, and the other for card games. Its nice to have it all contained.

@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I sent my DIL this video link. She waited for seeds to sprout that never did and lost valuable pre-season seed starting time. 😍

[@RestorationRanchHealing]

I use take out boxes and I use the plastic storage food containers in the multipacks - different sizes and different colors for lettuce herbs etc. I also start them on the paper towel and a spray bottle 😊

[@susanblackwell3457]

Are there certain plants it's good to start indoors...or do you start almost everything inside?

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

Great idea! I lost a bunch of seeds as they got stuck between paper towels which like fused together. 😢 I might try this minus the paper towels. I sprouted several plants by soaking in water medicine bottles a few days, changing water, or going dry just depending on the vibe I got. Worked amazing.

[@Metqa]

I put your videos on loop! I am going to try this method. I've tried the bag method. I've got to worry about mold. sometimes the seed molds before it germinates and it contaminates the others, so I am hesitant to have an open container like this but it can't hurt to try once. I bought a lot of expensive seeds where I only get like 10 seeds, So I have NONE to spare. I want to start them all because I am late, but I don't want to risk it so I want to start the tomatoes inside. I will put two out of ten of each tomato seed, and wait for germination and then start two more for back up. For Labels, I'm going to use plastic blinds. My neighbors cat destroyed the blinds so I took it apart and I have a bunch of plastic strips that make good plant labels.
