The Garden Rockstar - Make Your Own Newspaper Seed Starting Pots

[mamajamal]

cool idea, but aren't the chemicals in the newspaper a concern?

@mamajamal any chemical content would be negligible. As many newspapers use soy inks these days and are basically wood pulp and soy-based ink, I feel comfortable using these. I'm far more comfortable with this process than I am with purchasing compostable pots, and as I have used this method for years with zero ill effects, I'll continue to do so.

Thanks for your comment.
