First, take out the staples and tape from your boxes, then soak them in water and place them in the soil wherever you want to build the flower bed. Also, add the top layer with compost mulch, dried leaves, and grass clippings, keep it damp, and plant. In time, the cardboard should degrade and become food for your plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another suggestion that comes from us is to transform smaller containers into small plant pots. Tape the sides and the bottom and then put a plastic container inside, poking tiny holes to allow drainage. Then, fill the box with soil and plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Make_Stationery_Of_Old_Boxes_For_You_And_Your_Kids\"><\/span><strong>2.
