Pack of 48 Cardboard Craft Toilet Paper Tube Rolls, 9.9 cm Length

Product Information

By using cardboard toilet roll tubes as planters, there’s no need to take them out of the tube when it’s time to plant them in your garden or a larger pot. I have had very mixed results using these for sowing things like runner/french/broad beans and other large seeds and I believe this is due to the composition of these tubes. I have made myself a little tamper from a cotton reel and 6" nail which I use to firm the compost in the tube, then put in the seed and fill to the top and tamp down and then put in the module tray.

I am always looking for new crafts and activities so when I saw this I knew that we will be making these in July! Were all of us to be concerned about utilizing whatever is possible, rather than add it all to the ‘nuisance litter’ this planet would have been a better place to be in. My question is how come these toilet tubes are supposedly bio-degradable but part of the manufacturing process includes plastic, which has now contaminated my soil!

It’s best to only do this in the colder months, as warm temperatures can melt or spoil the spread you use. At the moment I have a tray of Carrot Autumn King germinating well and when they are about 1/2 inch tall, ie before the roots reach the bottom of the tube, I will thin them to one seedling and plant them out in their tubes very close to each other using a bulb planter as when cut in half these tubes are about the same length.

Hi Richard, I didn’t have much luck with loo rolls before, finding they quickly unravelled once they got wet.I just glued some colourful paper at either end (I like the fact that you could still see the actual tube). I’m starting to experiment with kaleidoscopes in my industrial design course at Aalto University in Helsinki, and this is genius to me especially because of the cuff that allows you to turn – not shake – the tube to change the image!

My macaw loves cardboard and I’ve heard giving any kind is risky due to spraying chemicals on boxes etc.
