Keep Your Seedlings Organized

If a garden is something you’ve always dreamed of starting, aluminum foil can help with that, too. Sure, you could just go to your local plant nursery and buy a bunch of small plants that are already growing. But the costs can rack up pretty quickly, and you never know exactly where that plant came from. Try starting your garden from seeds instead, and use some foil to keep your seedlings organized.

Cover each seedling with a piece of aluminum foil with holes poked in it. A toothpick or even a pen will work. As your seedlings grow, you’ll start to see them pop out of the holes. Plus, covering the soil with foil is a great way to keep the moisture in, which is crucial to growing strong, healthy plants from seeds. Once your seedlings are ready, gently tear away the foil and transplant in a new, bigger container.
