Make your own seed mats



Make your own seed mats:

You will need:
Paper towel or toilet paper
Paper towel cardboard roll
Seeds
Glue

This is a great idea I got from HGTV. Make your own seed mats for garden beds or planters so your plants will be perfectly spaced and ready to go when you are.  Love this idea!

Simply take some toilet paper or paper towels. Fold paper towels in half. Read the seed packet to see how far apart your seeds should be. On the paper towel mark out your seed spacing with a pencil or marker.
Apply a small dot of water soluable glue ( you know the non-toxic kind you used in school ) and then place one seed onto the glue dot.  Once the glue has dried roll up your seed mat around and empty paper towel or toilet paper tube for storing.

Once you are ready to plant simply take out your seed mat and position where you want it in your garden or planter. Cover with soil and water. Be sure to water carefully as not to wash away soil.


Warm regards and love,
