How To Make Newspaper Pots

Step 1: Get a drinking glass, newspaper, and a box to place your finished pots in. I reuse pizza boxes.

Step 2: Tear each sheet of newspaper in half. I stack 10-15 single sheets at a time and tear them together.



Step 3: Roll each half-sheet with your glass to form a tube. Roll around the open end of your glass. Use just half of your paper; the other half should be left at top of the glass.



Step 4: Tuck in the paper at the top of glass into the glass.



Step 5: Pull the newspaper off the glass, being careful not to mess up the pot shape. You're almost done. Now turn your glass over and set it inside the newspaper, turning it to crunch it all in.



Step 6: You're all done! Now place your newspaper pot into your box.



Step 7: Fill each pot with dirt and seeds. Place on a porch or window in a sunny spot.



In a few days you will see your seeds breaking through the dirt. This is a really good way to sow seeds for many vegetables. Then when seedling has sprouted and grown for a bit, you just plop each pot directly into garden ground; the newspaper is biodegradable and adds to the soil as it breaks down. Sowing seeds in newspaper pots helps a lot when you live in cold area like I do and/or have lots of animals/birds who'll eat very young sprouts. Enjoy!

Less Than a Month 'Til Spring

I am getting so excited, it's less than a month until spring! I'm going to start a few veggies indoors this week in newspaper pots; peas and spinach. I also want to get a nice crop of spring carrots this year too. Usually I wait too late to plant them and only get a fall crop.
