More than a few of us probably received a gift basket or two this year.
After eating the plastic-wrapped foods and confectionery or restocking the bathroom with soaps, shampoos and bath bombs, we do our best to recycle the packaging until all that remains is the basket that the gifts once lived in, so what do we do with it?
In these modern times, we don’t really have much need for a basket, do we?
Maybe you’ve already converted one old basket into a sewing kit, another holds clothes pegs or collects unused screws, nails and spider webs in the shed or garage.
Here’s an interesting idea for using your newest basket!
What You’ll Need:
- A Basket
- Soil
- A Plastic Carrier Bag
- Seeds
- A Knife
Step 1
Take the basket and put the old carrier bag on the bottom, poking a few small holes in the plastic.
Step 2
Fill the basket with soil. Use some of that compost you've been saving all year!
Step 3
Plant seeds.
It’s that easy!
Make sure to water daily and you’ll be enjoying natural homegrown and healthy herbs with your meals in no time and with no cost to you or the environment.
