Making newspaper pots is so simple that I explained it to my daughter, Ale, and she is going to show you how to do it. Newspaper pots are actually tin cans covered in newspaper. They are ideal and cost-effective containers for starting seedlings.
As Ale shows you, all you need is some recycled tin cans, spare newspaper and tape. You attach strips of tape onto the cans and then add the newspaper by rolling it over the tape, and just folding under the loose ends at the bottom.
Then, you fill your pots with a little bit of soil on the bottom and add your seedling, then fill in around it with soil.
It's so simple, you'll be able to do it with your eyes closed!
Happy blossoming.
