All you need to do is flatten the roll out to make it easier to cut.
You’ll then want to cut it into rings and place them on a gardening tray.
“Fill those rings with soil, give them a little water, pop in some seeds, a little more soil, and a little more water,” he further instructed in the video.
“And you have a cheap way to start seeds in your garden.”
This gardening hack won’t actually cost you anything in the end and you can do it every time you finish a roll of paper towels.
Following the video, many people took to the comment section to rave about how effective this hack was.

A second commented: “My dad does this, we are not allowed to throw away any toilet paper rolls.”
And a third said: “I did this last year for the garden. It worked great!”
However, one person who had tried and failed asked: “They always get moldy when I do that. Any tips for avoiding that?”
To which another one replied: “To prevent them from molding make sure they get enough heat and sunlight, but still don’t dry out!”
