How To Make A Seed Ribbon With Toilet Paper (Easy And Cheap).
When planting seeds it is important that they are well spaced and aligned.
The concern is that some seeds are very small and difficult to space well.
This is the case with carrots, lettuce or leeks, for example.
Result, either they stick to each other, or they scatter everywhere ...
No need to buy seed ribbons though!
You can easily make yourself with paper toilet. Look, it's very simple:
How to do
1. Roll out a strip of toilet paper on a table.
2. Moisten it with a spray bottle filled with water.
3. Observe the spacing between each seed as indicated on the packages. Use a ruler and a pen to mark the mark.
4. Place the seeds in the middle of the paper at each mark.
5. Fold the toilet paper in thirds lengthwise. Fold one side first, then the other to cover the seeds.
6. Press lightly on the paper to stick it and prevent the seeds from escaping.
7. Note the names of the seeds planted on the toilet paper.
8. Carefully transport the ribbon around the garden.
9. Lightly dig the soil in the desired location.
10. Place the seed ribbon in it and cover it with soil.
