Here’s a lovely garden gift idea for the green thumb in your life and a wonderful solution for planting seedlings. Using biodegradable paper pots for growing and planting will give your plants the very best chance of success. The advantage is that there is no replanting as the pots can be transferred directly to the ground.
This Paper Pot Maker Kit is so easy to use. Simply take a strip of old newspaper, wrap it round the press, fold it under, and twist into the base. It doesn’t take long and you can get several pots from one newspaper page. When the seedlings are ready to go into the garden, place the whole lot in one. The newspaper pot will gradually disintegrate, which allows your plants to grow faster because their roots haven’t been disturbed.
The set comes with everything you need (except old newspapers of course) including full instructions and makes two sizes of seedling pots – 4 and 6cm in height. Perfect for any keen gardener.
