Other 5 Mins Prep


  1. Use the egg carton as a mini greenhouse for seed starters.
  2. Place leftover shells in each carton holder. Fill the shells with potting soil, then plant the seeds and lightly water.
  3. Leave in a warm area with bright indirect light for a few days.
  4. Once the seeds sprout, transplant the seedlings into the garden or larger pots.
