Newspaper Pots

I used to re-use vending machine cups for planting seeds, until I thought about using newspaper pots. I looked at buying a Paper Pot Maker but then thought, surely there's a way to create the pots without a "maker". I found this step by step guide to making paper boxes:

They are strong and are a great alternative to plastic pots (and better for the environment). Just don't over water (sometimes I use a water spray instead of a watering can). I have also made some smaller pots by cutting the paper down to 25cm x 40cm, this way you use less soil. Very Happy

This is a great idea. I have been making pots out of newspaper but these are especially nice.
Nice one.
