Yesterday I had the time to finish transplanting the last of the plants into larger pots. Unfortunately I was about 15 pots short, so I made my own out of newspaper! You can see the video here on how to do it since I cannot figure out how to embed the video. Mine don't look as nice as hers, but they will work well and it was free!

That is so cool!! Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Can you plant out the seedlings into the ground still in their little newspaper pots?

You could plant them, but the video said it took longer to decompose than you would think, so she recommended taking them out of the pots for planting. Another place I read suggested that you could cut away the bottom and plant the plant that way. It would allow the roots to grow out of the pot yet still have the good nutritional benefits for the soil of the newspaper.
ReplyDeleteI saw something like this a few weeks ago. Are the pots holding up?
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be, but it's only been a few days. I'll keep you posted!
ReplyDeleteI just saw this somewhere, perhaps in a magazine. It is such a great idea! Thanks for spreading the word.
