If there's a way to garden sustainably and save money while doing it, I'll give it a try. That's how I stumbled across eggshell pots for seedlings. Not to be mistaken with using egg cartons as seed trays, this old-school gardening hack takes empty eggshells and turns them into organic pots for seeds to be planted directly into.
It's one of the easiest eco-friendly gardening ideas to recreate at home, especially if you commonly cook with eggs. Rather than discarding the shells, you can clean them out, fill them with seed starting soil (like this from Amazon) and sow seeds directly into them. Not only is it a plastic-free way to start seeds, it also offers protection to seedlings from the likes of snails and slugs, and it looks rather fun on your greenhouse shelf as shoots start to emerge.
