Lowe's - Earth Day Projects - FREE Reuse Items At Home!

Lowe's has some really cool projects listed here for families to work on this weekend but I thought this one was really special. It's something that not just families can use but something that everyone (Hello Fellow Garden Lovers!) can create in order to recycle/reuse.

Instructions

1. Cut 3"-wide strips of newspaper, then fold over the long edge of each strip 1".
2. Wrap the strips snugly around a spice jar (but not so tight that you can’t remove the jar when you are finished). Moistening the newspaper in water first will help it stick together.
3. Gently tuck the bottom edges under the jar so that they meet in the middle to form the base. If necessary, use a piece of tape where the bottom edges meet to make the base more secure.
4. Take the jar out of the newspaper and fill with seeds and soil.
5. Plant and watch your seeds come to life.

This project works best with easy-to-start annuals such as zinnias, cosmos, castor beans, morning glories, and sunflowers.
