7 household items you can use as seedling pots – plant up seeds and cuttings for free

Seedling starters in the garden.

The spring season brings a lot of new garden planting, much of which starts with sowing seeds. Seeds and seedlings often need to be started in seedling pots or trays before being transplanted into the garden. But there is no need to spend money on pots and trays thanks to our DIY seedling pot ideas that you can make from things you already have around the house.

Not only will these upcycling garden ideas save you some extra cash, but they will also repurpose a lot of waste that would otherwise end up in the bin. They can be used as seed starters, seedling pots and even planters for plant cuttings from the garden.
