Newspaper Plant Pots by Michele Made Me

Create your own simple and eco-friendly seed planting pots using only a pair of scissors, newspaper and a jar. Use black & white newspaper to make the pots as black ink is made of soy and safe to use around edibles. Avoid coloured newspapers as the ink contains some toxins.

Can you plant the plants inside the pot? Will it just decompose? Or do you have to open it up to allow root growth?

[Michele Pacey]

Yep, that's the idea. I'm going to slit the sides of my pots to aid in decomposition but yes I will be putting them in the ground to be eaten by worms.

Very cool. I plan on using this technique this year. I hope you don't mind, but I've shared this video on my blog. It's at starterpermaculture on wordpress if you'd like to look.

[Michele Pacey]

That's totally fine Caleb. Thanks for letting me know!
