Easy and free way to make your own plant starter pots!

[napi21]

I know a lot of us have been talking about growing our own food, and I've seen a lot of ideas for starting plants now for transplanting outdoors as soon as the frost is gone. I just found this info on how to make your own plant starter pots FREE! All you need is old newspaper and flour & water. I think we all have those things in the house. Here's a link.

1. awesome link! but will they stand up to the moisture the seedlings need?

2. I looked for a gardening group and didn't find one.

That's where I would have posted the original idea.

I think if you use 2 wraps of newspaper they would easily stand up to the moisture. Stupid as it sounds, 2 sheets of newspaper is really strong. I loved the idea of them being free and you can make them any size you need, and best of all, they turn into mulch in the soil when planted!

Where do I find the "gardening forum"?
