Paper Potter

We have showcased the paper potter before on this web site, but we thought it was about time this cool and environmentally friendly garden widget received renewed attention from us.

Many organic gardeners find the paper potter to be an incredibly useful garden tool in that allows them to turn discarded newspaper into seed pots. The resultant pots are both biodegradable and kind to the sprouting roots. Seedlings can be transplanted from their newspaper seed pot, when the time is right, at minimum disturbance to the plant and with little fuss.

The paper potter fits within our principles of sustainable horticulture because it not only allows gardeners to make use of discarded newspapers, but also creates a biodegradable product which will not harm the environment. They also makes a far more cost-effective solution when compared to regular seedling pots!
