Make an Endless Supply of Eco-Friendly DIY Paper Seed Starting Pots

So easy to use!
Turns newspaper into useful plant pots
Paper pots are biodegradable — transplant them right into the ground

Stop the presses! This DIY Paper Pot Maker is a simple, time-tested tool that transforms ordinary newspaper into a limitless supply of 1-3/4″ diameter pots, perfect for seed starting. Simply wrap a strip of newspaper around the solid oak press, fold it under, and twist into the base. Presto! It only takes a few seconds and you can get several pots from one newspaper page. With your homemade, biodegradable pots, you can plant the whole thing right into the ground, with no repotting necessary.

Hand-turned out of solid oak, each press may have natural wood and color variations, and the knob on top may be round or oval — but the 1-3/4″ diameter of the pot mold will not vary. Repurpose those stacks of papers into all the news that’s fit to plant!
