😲Don’t throw away tuna cans: they’re worth their weight in gold if you reuse them this way!

4. Seed Starters for Gardening

Before transplanting plants into your garden, tuna cans make excellent seed starters.

Follow similar steps as the mini planter method but use seed-starting soil and plant your seeds directly.

Important Safety Tip When Reusing Tuna Cans

• Smooth the Edges: Tuna cans often have sharp edges after opening. Use sandpaper or file the edges carefully to avoid cuts.
• Thorough Cleaning: Always wash cans with hot soapy water to remove food residues and odors.

2. Clean thoroughly using dish soap and hot water; soak if needed.
3. Dry completely before use.
4. If painting or decorating, ensure the surface is dry and free from grease.
