Cans for garden pots
I was wondering for seed starting and also for an organic herb garden can you use recycled cans like bean or tuna cans? or could this be hazardous because of the metal?

Farmer Dave's Answer
It's always great to recycle and reuse. I have never used cans myself but I don't think you would have any problems with them. I would suggest putting a couple holes in the bottom so they can drain as drainage is important for your garden pots.
Good luck and keep us posted and let us know how they do.
