### Q: What can I use instead of seedling trays?

### A: You can use alternative containers such as egg cartons, toilet paper rolls, yogurt cups, and even newspaper pots.

When starting seeds, it's important to provide a container that allows for proper drainage and promotes healthy root development. If you don't have seedling trays on hand, there are several household items that can be repurposed as containers for starting seeds.

### Egg Cartons.

Egg cartons are a popular choice for starting seeds. Simply cut the lid off the carton, fill each compartment with potting soil, and plant your seeds. Once the seedlings are ready to be transplanted, you can cut apart the compartments and plant them directly into the ground.

### Toilet Paper Rolls.

Toilet paper rolls are biodegradable and can be used as seed starters. Fold the bottom of the roll to create a base, fill it with soil, and plant your seeds. When it's time to transplant, you can plant the entire roll directly into the ground.

### Yogurt Cups.

Empty yogurt cups or other similar containers can also make great seedling pots. Just poke a few drainage holes in the bottom, fill with soil, and plant your seeds. These containers can be easily reused or recycled after transplanting the seedlings.

### Newspaper Pots.

Newspaper pots are eco-friendly and can be made easily at home. Simply roll strips of newspaper around a cylindrical object, like a can, and fold the bottom to hold the shape. Fill with soil, plant your seeds, and once the seedlings are ready, you can transplant the entire pot into the ground.

In conclusion, there are plenty of alternative containers that can be used instead of seedling trays when starting seeds. By reusing household items and being creative, you can successfully grow healthy seedlings for your garden.
