If you’ve been busy shopping online and your recycling bin is now overflowing with cardboard boxes, but you’re also a gardening enthusiast, we have a fantastic solution for you.

A brilliant TikTok video by gardener @Simonakeroygardener demonstrates how to make plastic-free plant pots using cardboard. Cardboard is an excellent alternative to plastic as it is biodegradable, renewable, and easy to acquire.

The best thing about these plant pots is that they can be planted directly into the soil. Cardboard is biodegradable and will naturally decompose over time. As the cardboard decomposes, it will provide nutrients to the soil, making it an excellent choice for planting. By planting the pots directly into the soil, you can avoid disturbing the roots of your plants. This will help your plants grow better and healthier.
