Random Quick Tip!

Seedling Starter
If you use paper dixie cups, the 3 oz size, you can make seed starters with them. Just push one of those tiny filters for resuable K cups in one of the cups, fill it with potting mix, place your seed in the center, cover with more soil. When the seed sprouts, pop the filter with the dirt out of the cut and place into your hole in the ground or next size up pot. This will prevent from having to disturb the roots. You can also recycle used store bought k cups this way. Just remove the insides from the k-cup and wash before using.
