Support for Climbing Plants:
Stack toilet paper rolls together to form a small trellis. This can help guide and support vines or young climbing plants until they are strong enough to hold themselves.
Bug Traps:
Place rolls with some bait (like scraps of fruit or a small sponge soaked in sugar water) near plants to attract and trap insects that could harm your garden.
Protecting Bulbs:
Cut toilet paper rolls to size and place them around newly planted bulbs in the ground to deter digging animals and protect young shoots.
DIY Watering Funnel:
Insert a roll around the base of a plant and pour water into it. This directs water straight to the roots and helps reduce evaporation.
Herb Drying Rack:
Cut several rolls in half and tie them together to create a drying rack for small herbs and flowers. This allows air to circulate around herbs while they dry.
Insect Hotels:
Stack and arrange toilet paper rolls in a container to make a habitat for beneficial insects like ladybugs and solitary bees, which are great for pollination and pest control.
Preventing Seed Spread:
Place rolls around plants known to self-seed to keep the seeds contained, reducing unwanted spreading around your garden.
These simple, eco-friendly uses for toilet paper rolls can help you grow a healthier garden while cutting down on waste.
