Reusing Egg Shells and Plastic Water Bottles



Reusing egg shells and plastic bottles 
to plant seeds in.  Your sprouted seedlings will probably have more growing time in the plastic bottles then the egg shells before having to be transplanted into an area that has more growing space for the roots.  
It has been known that the sprouted seedling along with the egg shell that its growing in can be directly planted in the ground/ container.

Saving egg cartons and 

empty egg shells can be used 

to  plant seeds in.



Be aware that if you do use cracked egg shells that they should be carefully cracked more towards the top narrow part of the egg.  Enough to where the egg can leave its shell.  This will give a little bit more space for the sprout to grow before being transplanted.
