Reduce Recycle Reuse

                    Hi everyone this post is something different from my usual blog. Here I'm trying to provide a solution for reusing a simple waste. In this busy world, we don't have time to visit the shop or we may get the best offer for the same product online than shops, This finally ends up with online shopping.

                   Once the product is reached and everything is fine, we are happy that we saved our money. But At the end, we don't know what to do with those packing materials like carton box and those filler airbags.
                   Here I got an idea from my friend to recycle it by converting it into a good lightweight pot for your terrace or balcony garden. It's easy to make, not expensive and a good habit of recycling too.
                  The step for making carton plant pots are as follows.

Step 1: Choose your carton box,

Step 2: Make a hole at the center of your Carton box( This is an outlet for excess water in the pot)
Step 3: Cover the box with plastic bags, and create the hole at the center of the bag too.

Step 4: Seal the carton box whole with the plastic bag, it helps to drain excess water from carton box absorbing.

 Step 5: Pick four same size bottle caps (Not only the bottle caps but any material of 4 numbers with equal height can also work, I used a coconut shell for one box) and paste them in all the four corners of the carton box. It looks like a stand. 

Step 6: Now your pot is ready for plantation. At the bottom, first fill with coconut fiber, then sand, red-soil and fertilizer mixture. Continue the coconut fiber, red-soi, fertilizer mixture up to 3/4 of the carton box.

Step 7: Plant your favorite plant and water it.

 Note: Coconut fiber is good moisture and fertilizer for the plant. Placing some coconut fiber near the roots, protect the plant from excess heat, and keeps the plants fresh without watering for min 3 days when we are out of home for some reason.
