Make your own plant pots.
Make Free(ish) Plant pots! Free(ish)? What's that mean then? Let me explain.... You can make your own little plant pots, ideal for sowing seeds, from newspaper. You'll need a Paper Potter and a tabloid sized newspaper. The paper potter is a nifty little wooden gadget in 2 parts. You'll need to find one and probably buy one (hence free-ish) but once you have it then endless paper pots are yours for the making! Oh, you might need to buy a paper if you don't have one already or if you don't get a free local paper. First you need to cut strips of news paper to the size specified in the instructions that come with the potter. Then you wind one strip round the larger part of the potter and tuck the edges underneath and into the space in the bottom. Finally you push the upper part into the lower mould to fix the base of the pot. Then you are ready to fill with compost and sow your seeds. This year I've started ALL my veg in the pots made this way and it does mean that the roots aren't disturbed when you pot the plants on or plant them in the ground - the whole thing goes in and the newspaper rots into the soil and any failures can go straight in the compost heap or bury them in the soil when you're planting out. It's recycling at home combined with composting! |

great info, this sounds very natural and useful in today's times that's important.
What a great little tool the paper potter is. I have a galvanized steel press that makes soil blocks that hold together by themselves, and I've used this press for years. Anything we can do to avoid plastic! Very cool concept...and name...for Nether Wallop.
I thought this was "make your own pot plants"

Funny! I don't think that'd be allowed...
