Creative Review: For greenfingered subscribers



Subscribers to CR can use the packaging that the February issue comes in to grow their own tomatoes.  Subscriber copies of the February isssue of CR come in a compostable bag. You can bury the bag in the garden and it will decompose harmlessly. But to give readers an added incentive, we have included a packet of tomato seeds in each one.
The idea is, that if you follow the instructions on the reverse of the bag, you can start to grow your tomatoes in your studio or home in the bag provided. Then, come the spring, you can transplant your seedlings, bag and all, to the garden, where the bag will decompose into the soil.
All you need to do is to remove the magazine and cut off the glue strip. Then form the bag into a sack by rolling it down. Fill this with soil/compost and sprinkle in your seeds. Then plant it out when you are ready.
The bag is made from Harmless-Compost, part of a range of compostable packaging products from Cyberpac.
