It's soon coming to the point where I will need to graduate them and their fast growing selves from egg carton holes to TOILET PAPER ROLL TUBE POTS!
Big step for these guys. I contemplated shoving the whole kibosh (seedling with egg carton cutout) into the toilet paper roll tube, but as I have yet to meet a not hardy tomato seedling, I'm just yanking the seedling out of the paper egg carton and carefully moving it into a more vertically soil rich environment of the toilet roll tube.
Such an easy cheap little pot until I move them to spacious digs such as the NEWSPAPER pot, but I'm try to keep them at bay for as long as possible as the garden-garden outside needs time to fill up.
These toilet roll tube pots are so simple. Take one toilet paper roll tube and cut 4 little snips at one end equidistant from each other:
Bend into each other until they hold and are flat and will stay relatively upright when filled w/dirt and a plant.
Voila! (Viola!):
Instant drainage too is pretty sweet.
Their roots will grow nice and deep in this for a while and I'll let them get a bit "tube pot bound" before their next move.
