I use them for planting runner beans broan beans instead of flower pots.They break down and send the roots deep.

Most certainly do. I get wine boxes from the supermarket cut down and put the toilet rolls in them.
Not much free in life,but when it is i think it makes allotmenting much more fun.
I have about a hundred in the shed ready to go.

Egg boxes and wine boxes cut width ways in process of beeing saved for spud chitting.

Yes i use these. Cut mine in half and fill with compost then set a seed in each. Then when its time to plant just drop the whole thing into the soil. Great stuff, no mess and the cardboard will break down.

I have started saving mine as I plan to use them to plant seeds as I had read it on here. They can also be composted.

I started saving toilet and kitchen roll inners at the end of last summer. Who could believe 2 people could go through so many? :oops:

plant the seeds in the toilet roll holders.
let them grow.
plant the whole toilet roll holder, sprout and soil.
let the toilet roll rot away.

Just make sure that when you plant the loo roll holders, the top of the cardboard tube is below the surface of the soil (otherwise it acts like a wick and can prevent the plant developing too well)

they are good for autum sowing of sweet peas as well with them being long rooted

I used them this year round the stems of my leeks to blanch em a bit more.
