Reuse Coffee Pods

Reuse Coffee Pods

I’m not a coffee drinker any more but I still appreciate all of the gadgets that come with that beverage. The coffee pods in particular are now something I am trying to use as seed starting pots.

Coffee pods have an outside shell lined with a coffee filter that allows water to pass through and exit through a hole in the bottom.

The coffee pods make excellent seed starting pots, better than cut toilet paper rolls because the outside shell keeps the coffee liner from coming apart.

You can either transplant starts into the pods or plant seeds directly into them.

I use an egg carton to keep them upright and to ensure that they get watered enough to keep the soil in the pods wet.

Once the seedlings are ready to plant, I will pop them out of the coffee pods and see if I can use them again.
