5 www.SmallFarmCanada.ca COOL TOOL FAIL, ICE CREAM CONE SEED STARTERS Seeding exuberance through trying a new and cool tool for planting ended a few days later with bitter reality. It was okay in theory but in practice didn’t take long to fail. Not even a few days into the test case for using ice cream cones to start seeds, our little seed pots were raided by mice. As they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you have a mouse free environment for seed starting, ice cream cones may still be a contender, but in our case newspaper pots will remain the seed starting pot of choice. If you have a cool tool that you would like SFC to review, message Editor@ SmallFarmCanada.ca.
