I gave up on using toilet paper or kitchen paper rolls years ago because, unless the weather was very wet, they did not disintegrate enough for the roots to penetrate, and the plants just rooted out of the bottom. It contains the domain, utk, initial timestamp (first visit), last timestamp (last visit), current timestamp (this visit), and session number (increments for each subsequent session). They won't be wasted though as those which arn't saved for next year's emergency will be torn up and put on the compost heap. I would think the bottoms can be opened up again on my toilet tube pots if needed but this year is really a trial for everything I do with the allotment so I’m really glad for your input and will see how these pots turn out for me throughout the year.

They are wrapped around a paper core leftover from actual paper towels, and installed on our counter on the old paper towel holder. I don't consider myself handy with a box cutter but was able to easily follow the pattern and come out with a really nice-looking result. So now you have four great ideas for recycling your toilet paper rolls in the garden to keep your environment sustainable.
The only issue is that you’ll then need to wait for the post to arrive, so the method won’t work if you need them by the next morning. I’ve had a few people say they use these for peas and beans like you and simply fill with compost and sit in a tray. Just take toilet roll and wrap up your little one until their body is covered from head to toe (just be sure to leave out their hands, mouth, feet and eyes!
Other similar cardboard tubes – like kitchen roll tubes – can be composted too but avoid any that have come into contact with forbidden food stuffs (like fats) or excessive chemicals (including detergents or perfumes). With Father’s Day fast approaching, it’s time to sit the kids down and help them turn their creativity into some beautiful-yet-practical gifts for dad. Take a toilet roll tube (kitchen roll tubes can be cut into two) and squash it flat creating creased edges.
Hi, I have only used them with the bottoms open because I mainly use them for seeds that develop a long tap root and therefore need a longer tube.

I was looking for fun activities for a school school assignment and i must say i am so happy i found your blog!

I use them every year for my broad beams and sweet corn with no issues; the plants grow lovely with good roots. Like all of FloraEtLin's products, even better than I hoped for, for replacing paper waste and expense. Since we’re on the subject of seed libraries this weekend I thought I’d share this post from sharpenyourspades as it’s rather timely in regards to what to do once your check out some new seeds from the library. Whether your seedlings are planted out in your garden or in pots indoors, there are many pests and insects that can affect whether or not they thrive.Step 2: Pour out some birdseed onto a plate, then gently roll the toilet paper roll over the plate to pick up the birdseed. You could even encourage a little make believe by pretending you're a giant storming through a city, or a magic carpet flying through the desert. Great idea to add to compost, I have a hot bin and use a lot of grass cuttings so need to use extra shredded paper/cardboard as grass contains a lot of liquid so i get a lot of leachate. I only really squared them as it made it easier to create bottom flaps but many people have commented on the usefulness of squaring them up.
