@joesgarden: Today we are back and I am showing you one of my favourite ways to use up all that extra left over cardboard from deliveries. I’m sure most of you like me, from time to time order something which arrives in a cardboard box. Well instead of throwing them away, they are actually very useful around the garden. There are two more main ways to use cardboard around the garden which I haven’t shown here, but I will quickly mention them. Cardboard is a vital ingredient in compost, so I like to keep a load next to my compost areas, so when a bit of green waste goes in I can top it up with cardboard. It also acts as a brilliant weed membrane for no dig beds too. However this is my favourite way to use it up and it’s also one which saves me a lot of money each year. Cardboard can be turned into pots which are ideal for seeds and seedlings as they are free, but can also be transplanted whole once the seedling is big enough. This helps avoid root disturbance and makes your life a little bit easier too. These little pots are surprisingly sturdy, but please make sure you are not overwatering, as not only is that bad for your plant, the cardboard pot will break down if saturated. Give them a go and let me know how you get on, Thank you for watching, and I love you all, Joe 😊🌱🙏 #zerowaste #gardening #Sustainability #gardentips #ecotips #gardeningtips
