Most people get through hundreds of eggs every year. That’s a lot of egg cartons…most of which get thrown away. But people many may not realise that these are in fact gardeners’ gold and that they have so many great uses around the garden. In this week’s episode, Ben shows us some ingenious uses for them that will make you want to hoard yours and never throw them away again!

Usual mediocre ideas – well known. Nothing knew.
I love egg cartons!
And don't forget to keep empty toilet roll centers. You cut flaps in one end fold them to form at bottom. Dip the roll i some water and set down as a pot. When dry again it keeps its shape a fairly. Fill with potting mix for seedlings and sow your seeds. When it's time to replant it's easy to remove or just move the flaps away ircto the side and plant as is.
I NEVER KNEW THAT THIS ITEM WILL BE THIS IMPORTANT
Thank you🙏🙏🙏
Hy Ben, i dont know if this is the best way to ask, but i remember you making a video about tree spinach but cant find it any more. I am ready to plant my first batch and was wondering if you know what video it was. So i can rewatch it for some tips. Friendly greetings Bas from NL
Hello Ben, I like all your videos. Enjoyed the one last month about not using expensive potting mix, I guess this video's mix was on offer 😆😆🤔🤔 I used the egg boxes for carrots last season & it worked a treat… 👍
Great ideas❤
Wonderful suggestions! Thank you very much.
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you use those egg cartons for seedlings and storage too Take care too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤
Genius!!🇧🇻
Does it matter what kind of sand you use to make potting mix for carrots?
The Only Problem Is All Egg Cartons Or Most Are Made Of Styrofoam Now!! So The Eggs Are More Protected From Getting Broken While In Route To Grocery Stores!!🙄
egg cartons are great for the worm composter as well: soak up excess moisture, as a bedding layer … and they seem to aid breeding as well
First time I've found you and thoroughly enjoyed your very interesting video. You made it all sound like fun. Many thanks. 👌
Stupid video
Dziękuję za ciekawe pomysły, super, że już wiosna. Pozdrawiam z Polski.
What a great video I especially love the carrot idea because those are a pain to grow . The weeds just get all in the way of your carrots before you know it. It’s out of control and I in these are just perfectly separated. I like it.
I push whole egg trays into soil and add 2 carrot seeds to each. After they sprout, I cut the weaker one. Perfect spacing and they grow really well.
У меня на посадку мешок картофеля….
Спасибо. Очень полезные советы. Я думаю, редиску тоже можно в них выращивать. К низеньким грядкам тяжело наклоняться, а картонную коробочку можно поставить на стол и удобно работать.
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Great video !
thank you 👌
🎉
Wonder about the chemical in the egg tray leaching into the soil if you plant it into the garden bed. But great for seed trays – thanks
