Reuse plastic bags from linens and blankets

How to create a mini-greenhouse from David Clark, Professional Horticulturist  


How many times have you bought linen or blankets packaged in a plastic zipper bag?  Clark says these bags make great mini-greenhouses for rooting plants or for recently transplanted plants. Just pop the plant into the bag and zip the bag up partway. This will help keep in moisture.   Please do keep a small opening to allow for airflow to prevent growth of mold. These bedding bags can accommodate one large plant or several small plants.
