1. Cut Out Milk Jug Bottoms to Preserve Seedlings
Supplies needed: milk jug with cap and scissors
Making It Cost: $5*
Small plants require a little more assistance to guarantee unhindered growth. Delicate, young plants have a difficult time in the wild, but you can ease their transition with a basic milk jug.
To preserve seeds, cut the bottoms off of milk jugs (@bhg/Pinterest).
Take off the gallon milk jug’s bottom (but leave the cap on) to shield little plants in their beds. With the cut side down, place the jar over each plant. Remove the cap to let the jug vent on a warm day. Your new plants will grow with additional warmth, care, and physical protection from this homemade greenhouse. If you planted in the spring, you can remove the jugs in early June because the plants will outgrow them quickly.
