      Adam Leone - Carrot Tops Allotment Use the toilet rolls and, oh I dunno, a thick marker pen or fat stick of some kind with a flat end.
      Square off the rolls like you did in the video, put them together on a tray, pour in your moistened soil, pack it down with your stick then press down with the "stick" and push the new soil block out the bottom end.
      Now you have a soil mix cube.
      (Unless I've got the names mixed up, that's the same, yes?)
      They look like easy things to make out of normal household rubbish.
      There's way too much plastic around so I use things like plastic bottles and a soldering iron and heat gun to make my own tools now. If you can get a soldering iron or pyrography tool that can go down to 180 or 190°c (most go down to 200°c) you can weld the plastic together. Use stainless steel heads as the brass ones stick like crazy.
      Work outside or use an extractor though because most plastic gives off very nasty fumes when heated. There are some videos on how to work plastic on here. You could look up how to recycle HPBA plastic at home. There's not a ton of safety info so take precautions for toxic fumes and heat.
      It's kind of an offshoot craft from people who work with 3D pens and it's how I fix or upgrade basic plastic pots. Welding works better than glue.

    Thanks, this was really helpful. I've watched a number of how-to videos on using tp rolls to make seed starters and this is the best. The trick with the water is brilliant and the square shape even better.

  • @ThePinkBinks
    @ThePinkBinks 3 года назад +41

    I just realised that a teeny, tiny bit of flour added to the bottom (when you're making a paper seed starter) is a great (and safe) glue.
    It's not necessary with toilet rolls because it already contains glue, but if you're making paper seed starters out of regular paper you can make a thin paste out of flour and water and boom, nice safe glue.
    It's an ancient method. Thanks for the inspiration! 😁
    (Every other step would be the same as your method.)

      Ditto! Thank you for the videos. 😁
      Oh... If you need to be 100% sure that there aren't any micro critters in the flour before you start you can put the flour in the freezer overnight. Flour/paper mites can be a real pain. It's best to do that if you keep flour in long term storage anyway.
      (It's usually not a problem but it's worth knowing about when growing, especially if you keep a sterile grow space.) 😊

    I've made a few per the instructions in the video, and then I made a few more with a slight modification: I cut the corners off one of the bottom flaps, and cut a slit in the flap on the opposite side.
    Then I fold the other two flaps closed.
    Then I fold down the flap with the slit I made.
    And then fold down the flap having the corners cut off, taking care to push the tip of its narrow end into the slit in the opposite flap.
    Then for good measure, I soak it in water and let it dry.

But basically, if you've ever had something come in a cardboard box, like, say, teabags or single-serve oatmeal packets, and one cardboard box flap has a tab that you insert into a slit in the opposite box flap to close the box, that's what I did to the bottom of the tube. And instead of using glue, I just wet them and set them down to dry. BTW, when I plant the tube, I always gently pulll open the bottom a lttie and carefully cut slits in the sides just before putting them into the hole in the potting mix that I made for them.

    I did this one year and found out that the glue used in making the rolls doesn't hold up when watering the seedlings.

When planting the seedlings, I then cut the tape and easily removed the soggy paper from around the roots.

Once grown his seedlings had roots coming out the bottom and he planted them directly into the ground loo roll and all.
    1. Do you plant them with the toilet roll directly into the ground?
    2. Do u open the bottom before planting them so the roots have access to the ground?

    I put a line about 1 1/2 in. up and make two cuts about 1 1/2 inches apart up to the line. (Make a template out of a piece of plastic) Then I cut the rest of the roll off. Fold the flap inside the roll - it should be a little long. Turn the roll over and push the flap down flat - on the bench. The end tips of the flap will fold up a 1/4 inch to create as a little resistance and you have a TP Roll Pot. I haven't tried it but you could use a shallow dish of water - stand the finished roll in the water for a bit - then put aside to dry.

    Great idea to make them square. I just cut them in half and set them in a container. I did waste a lot of potting soil between them when filling them.

      It's not unheard of. I'm wondering if I should look into which different brand of roll is best to grow in.

    I tried this and also tried some in the bottom part of a cut up water bottle and the ones in the toilet paper role ended up molding): any tips to prevent that? I wasn't keeping them too wet either...

      Mine always get moldy too ☹️ I have even sprayed them with alcohol, peroxide or vinegar but still get mold !

    Cool. Then when the seedlings are ready for planting, you can just open the bottoms and let the roots out.☀️

    A caution about using the rolls. I used them for several years, but one year nothing I planted in them germinated. Other kinds of containers was no problem that year, but not one in the roll grew. It was several types of plants too, so it's not that I had a bum pack of seeds. It was so disappointing. It was over 30 plants.
    Something about them (either a chemical in the paper processing or maybe the glue) prevented germination. So you might want to do a test one before commiting a bunch of time and effort only, and stick to the same brand. I decided after that to buy proper pots (usually on clearance the year before) and give the empty rolls to the kids for crafts.

      That's interesting - looking at the comments, I'm wondering if I should look which brand of loo roll works best. Some tend to mould as well.
