I am one of those people that will go the cheap route whenever I can, and when it comes to my garden I am no different. I want to grow my own vegetables, but it has to be economically beneficial. That means watching every dollar, to make these cups all you need is newspaper, a tube from paper towels and some newspaper.
Step 1: Take a newspaper and cut it into strips in which every direction makes the strips the longest.
Step 2: Roll strip of newspaper around the card board tube leaving one inch hanging off the tube.
Step 3: Tuck the rolled newspaper into the tube, slide the roll off and tuck the other end.
Step 4: Place the tubes in a small box that will hold them tightly together.
Step 5: Fill with soil, water and plant seeds.
I used these for tomatoes, peppers and zucchini this year ad I won't be buying seed cups ever again. Some gardens recommend saving all your toilet paper rolls, but that makes me feel like I am going to end up on an episode of Hoarders and it doesn't help if I want to plant right now.
