Paper Pots for Seedlings

Hey, not sure how can help....

 

I just read the article in the propagation section, and i've seen the eco-friendly seedling pots before, but they always look neat and sturdy. does anyone know how to make them from old newspapers?

 

is there a youtube video?

 

Thanks

old egg cartons work pretty

old egg cartons work pretty well, though they tend to become very fragile when watered...which is kind of a problem haha
i imagine if you made the pots out of paper mache then it might work...

Loo roll inners

I happened to notice this in gardeners world, a rare occasion I watched it. I tried it for growing on tomato seedlings, worked quite well. I folded in the bottom half and flattened the base, then put seedlings into compost in them. Ideal for this, as the cardboard just decomposes when the seedlings are potted on/planted out.
