Palmer Library of Things : Newspaper Pot Maker for DIY Biodegradable Seedling Starter Pots
(Physical Object)

Step 1. Cut or tear a piece of newspaper or craft paper into a strip that measures approximately 3 1/2 inches wide and 10 inches long. Step 2. Roll the paper around the bottom part of the handle and press and fold the paper under the end. Step 3. Press the paper into the base. This is the step that makes the newspaper take shape into a 2" paper pot. No glue is required! Step 4. Remove the paper pot from the handle. Step 5. Fill the paper pot with potting soil and plant your seed or transplant a small seedling directly into the paper pot. Step 6. When the seedling is ready to go outside, you can plant the entire pot directly into the soil of your garden. The newspaper will decompose quickly and the roots will be able to grow through.

This little wooden tool is the perfect machine for making seed planting pots.
