I saw the idea a while back, and decided to give it a try. Take the centre for a loo roll, make four snips in the bottom, and fold them up. This produces a little plant pot for seeds or cuttings. As they grow their roots will emerge through the cardboard, and the the cardboard will start to decompose.
On the left, there's two mint cuttings, and on the right, sugar snap pea seeds. I'll plant some more peas next week.
The table the tray is sitting on was bought about 15 years ago, and it's been outside in all weathers. It's seen better days, and now it's been put into retirement as a gardening table. A new table and a couple of benches have been ordered. They will look rather swish in comparison. I'm also going to get some solar powered lights for the garden. There will be garland-like ones for the front and back walls. Once the raised beds have been filled with soil, I'll get some larger ones with a stake on the bottom and put them into the beds.
