If you are lucky enough to buy delicious chocolate candy, do not rush to throw out the package. She can get a second life and find useful use in the household, namely in gardening. That's the secret:

The British gardener and author of more than 30 plants care books, Simon Akeroid, shared in Tiktok video, showing how easy it is to create the perfect seed germination environment. It's very simple: a man uses a Ferrero Rocher chocolate box. So spring is on the threshold, so it's time to start seasonal preparation and grow seedlings.

How to make a mini-heat to germinate seeds

1. Eat all the candy. Save the plastic box with a gold lining.
2. Drain: gently pierce the small holes in each compartment of a plastic lining. This will provide excess water and protect the roots from decay.
3. Fill each candy compartment with a small amount of soil or peat that is suitable for seed germination.
4. Choose the seeds of flowers or vegetables you want to grow. Put a few grains in each compartment and lightly sprinkle them with soil.
5. Cover the box with a plastic lid. It will create a greenhouse effect, maintaining moisture and heat, which will promote rapid seed germination.
6. Place the mini-heat on the windowsill or in another well-lit place.

This method allows for starters to grow seedlings without unnecessary costs. In this way, cucumbers grow well, which should be transplanted when the first first sprouts appear. You can also sow celery, leeks, and among flowers-petunia, math and salvia. This method is not suitable for growing tomatoes and peppers, because they have a developed root system that requires more space.

So let's take a closer look at why This method so effective:

• Creates an optimal microclimate - the plastic lid retains moisture and temperature.
• Saves money - you do not need to buy specialized greenhouses or containers.
• Eco -friendly - instead of throwing out the package, you give her a new life.
• Easy to use - suitable even for those who have never grown plants before.

Another unusual lifehack is to grow seedlings in an egg shell. This method is very economical because eggs are easy to find in any kitchen. The main thing is to properly break the egg, carefully cutting the sharp edge, so that most of the shell remains whole. It is also interesting that the egg shell further enriches the soil with calcium.

A drainage hole should be made at the bottom of the ground before filling the shell. Use an awl or needle to avoid cracks. Fill the ready -made pots with a nutritious substrate, then put the seeds and sprinkle with soil, then pour.
