Free Mini Greenhouse for the Price of a Rotesserie Chicken

If you are really into gardening and you start your flowers and veggies from seeds, you don't have to spend a fortune on those expensive mini-greenhouses that are sold in many gardening stores.

My co-worker gave me a really good tip today and I thought I'd share. You know the containers that the cooked rotesseries come in at many grocery stores, well those make the perfect mini greenhouses!

All you do (after you eat the rotesserie) is clean the dome, and then add some moisture control miracle grow in the bottom, plant your seeds, cover with the lid, and watch your plants grow! Many Sam's Club stores will even give you the domes for free if you simply ask for them!

I don't know how many times I've thrown out the rotesserie domes, never thinking that they would make great greenhouses, and I am a Gardener at heart! They are also great for teaching the kids how plants grow.

Happy Gardening!
