How to Create Seed-Starting Pots From Newspapers

Instead of buying expensive peat pots to plant your seeds in, make these spiffy planting pots by rolling recycled newspaper around a glass or jar. The finished pots are sturdy and will break down quickly once they've been planted in the soil.

Who can find newspapers now-a-days? There are more discarded pots in my neighborhood.

@pastormikeb68 i'd say being resourceful and growing your own food IS having a life.

I make my pots thick and peel them off before planting. Then the paper goes in the worm bin where they think its rotting goodness is candy. Worms are weird. Put the pots in a cardboard box and pack them in tight. By the time they are ready to fall apart they will already have been planted in the garden.
