Materials required: mold, water, and cement
Making It Cost: $20*

For the cement to not lump together, mix it well. Next, use a bowl (such as this one) or a yogurt or milk carton as a mold. After a day of drying, take out the mold from the planter. After sanding it, put anything you want in your planter.

Around the end of the roll, make a series of one-inch cuts, spacing them out by half an inch. Next, fold your chopped portions into the roll’s center. After setting these seed pots in a planter, add soil to the pots and sow your seeds in the starter.
