Newspaper, wrapped around an empty soda can, makes a great seedling-starter.

1. Cut a 6" X 17" strip.

2. Wrap it around a can.

3. Pinch the bottom in four places.  Fold them into the middle, in a pinwheel shape.  Press them to fit the dome-shaped dent on the can.

4. Take the paper off the can.  Fold the edge inwards.

5. Fill with soil.

6. Plant seeds.  For tomatoes I favor about 1/2 potting soil to 1/2 sand.

7. Use a plastic bag in a shoebox as a caddy.

8. Mix 1 tsp. of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with 1 quart water.  Water each can-cup with about 2 Tablespoons.

9. Cover loosely with saran wrap or loosely fold over bag.

10. Place on top of fridge for 8 days.
