An Extra Post Today - Making Paper Pots

Newspaper planter pots have been popular for sometime now and for good reasons; easy to make, inexpensive and the newspaper becomes one with the soil.

If you aren't sure about the safety of using
newspaper, please read this information regarding the composting of paper.

You will need painters tape - it's excellent for holding the pot together but also it's a place to write the label -
scissors, newspaper, school glue and cans of various sizes. The finished pot size is dependent on the size of the can, want smaller pots - use smaller cans, want bigger pots - use bigger cans.

All the instructions are with the photos which you can view here Slideshow or the Album.
