Raising seedlings in plastic milk bottles

Sadly we're forced to buy our milk in plastic bottles, so I find a lot of uses for them.

I've had great success using plastic milk bottles as mini hot houses to shoot seeds.

See the pictures below. Don't drill any holes.

When you feel the tiny seedlings are strong enough, prick them out & plant into some small pots until they're ready to go into the ground or into larger pots.

Cut a plastic milk bottle in half.

Add seeds and lightly pat down. Mark and put the top on.






After 7-10 days open the lid & peek in to see if you have seedlings.
