Don’t throw away those egg cartons! There are dozens of things you can do with them. Check out the easy (and fun to read) instructions on planting an egg carton garden with your kids at ParentConnection.com.
Hint: You don’t have to have kids to do this! Egg cartons - especially recycled cardboard egg cartons - make great seed starters. Just plant one or two seeds in each egg cradle, mist the whole thing lightly, cover with plastic wrap, and set in a sunny window. Water when there’s no moisture on the plastic wrap. Remove the plastic when seedlings have two leaves. When the seedling are ready to transplant outside, you can plant it cardboard and all.
