Carrot Design Newspaper Pot Maker for DIY Biodegradable Seedling Seed Starter Pots

I wanted to start seeds this year, but didn't want to spend a fortune on the plastic trays that just end up going to the landfill. I read about making biodegradable pots with old newspaper, but it looked kind of tedious. I happened to see an ad for this product and clicked on it, then read about it, and decided to purchase it.It makes creating pots from old newspaper, as well as paper grocery bags, very simple. You just wrap a strip of the paper around the spherical part, then smash it into the base. You quite quickly have yourself a little seed starting pot! They are paper and biodegradable, so you can just dig a hole and plop it in your garden when it has warmed up outside.You can use a can or a bottle to make the pots, too, but I I feel like this is better if you have to make a lot of paper pots because it's easy to hold, doesn't slip around, and the base helps to make a sturdy bottom.

Well crafted and just cute! Made a lot of paper pots with this tool and my kids enjoyed helping me make them. Perfect for starting seeds and I can plant directly into the soil. Highly recommend, was a great price for the quality as well!

Super easy to use and makes versatile pots for rooted herbs, flowers and small veggie seeds!TIP 1 - makes best/sturdy pots with 2 layers of newsprint, one wider on outside, shorter on inside.TIP 2 - Use the dowel to measure the width of paper, tip to groove in handle for narrow strips, Tip to tip for wider ones.My one ask of manufacturer. Make a larger version too. This tool makes a 2" pot, would love a 4" version for my larger starter plants like tomatoes!

I like this tool and what it does for starting seedlings. I had to modify it to make cups that weren’t cut and torn. I sanded a bevel on all edges making it work.

My brother and I went to a farm Festival and they were making plant pots out of paper. Newspaper. Very easy to do and what a great idea. So we looked on Amazon and found one and it's a good one. Just in time for planting season.

A friend recommended. I was a little skeptical that this would produce a usable seedling pots; but it does. I use a little bit wider piece of paper than the instructions suggest and fold over the top edge about 1 inch before I roll the paper - it doubles the top edge of the pot and makes a stronger pot.

This little wooden pot maker is very cleverly made. It works great. Makes perfect little pots to grow seedlings in. I use little containers to place the little pots in and water from the bottom of the container to help keep the pots intact while the seeds are sprouting. It's a great way to recycle your old newspapers! And save on planting pots. I recommend this little Newspaper pot maker.

Love the use of newsprint with plant roots free to penetrate!
