I love those cute newspaper pot maker tools, but I don't own one. (I did once, but I can't find it.) But you do not need the tool to make the perfect newspaper pots for starting your seeds. All you need are strips of newspaper, something to use as a cylinder, and some potting mixture.
Step one: Cut the newspaper into 3 1/2" x 12" strips
Step Two: Wrap the strip around a cylinder. Here I have used both a cylinder glass and a french rolling pin.
Step Three: Tuck the ends under.
Step Four: press down on the tucked under edges to give the base some sturdiness.
Step five: Fill the pot with seed starter mix
Step 6 sow seeds
Transplant your new plants into a pot or the garden after hardening off. No need to remove the paper pot, it will biodegrade in the soil.
