Newspaper Pots


Here is another way to kick the plastic habit- make your own newspaper seedling pots! So much of the horticultural industry is based on plastics, a big drag on its sustainability. If you are starting your own seeds, give this technique a try! This link is to a video. http://www.ehow.com/video_1745_create-seed-starting.html

  2. I wonder if using magazine pages would work? They would be more attractive. Great idea though. I may have to try this out.

  3. The inks in the shiny, color pages of magazines are problematic as they are not all soy based, especially unfriendly for food crops. Plain old newspaper is the way to go and compostable after you transplant the plants into the garden or a beautiful container.
