23/25 Greenhouse From the Salad Bar
Next time you grab lunch from a salad bar, don’t toss the plastic clamshell container—it makes an excellent mini greenhouse for starting seeds in the spring. After finishing your meal, clean the container thoroughly. Then, use a hammer and awl to make a few small ventilation holes in the lid. Fill the bottom half with potting soil or your preferred seed-starting mix, plant your seeds according to the packet instructions, and water lightly. Close the lid to create a humid environment and place the container in a sunny location. Soon, your seeds will begin to sprout!
