Recycled Items to use as Seed starters

There are so many household items that you can recycle to use as seed starters.  Most are very inexpensive to use and would be great to get kids interested in gardening.

The gardens have been put to bed for the winter, but these are the months to think about starting seeds indoors, so that they will be ready for spring.

Many common household items, or things that normally end up in the trash can be used. Using old items in new ways is just one small step that we can take to protect the environment at home.
