The Bollove Paper Pot Maker is a handy tool if you want to start seeds sustainably. It's meant for making small starter pots, roughly 1Âľ inches across, using old newspapers or scrap paper.
Here's how it works: you cut your paper into strips, wrap them around the wooden form, and use the base to shape the pot. It's pretty simple and can even be a bit fun!
What's awesome is these pots are biodegradable. When your seedlings are ready to move outdoors, you can plant them—pot and all—right into the ground. The paper will eventually break down, which means less transplant shock and more nutrients for your garden. Great if you're looking to go plastic-free.
According to our research, folks generally like this for smaller seedlings, like herbs or tiny flowers. But if you've got larger plants in mind, the pot size might feel a bit limiting—it's not ideal for bigger root systems. Some have mentioned needing larger pots for bigger plants.
But if you're all about recycling and want a greener way to garden, this tool gets two thumbs up. Plus, making the pots can be a neat project with kids, adding a bit of fun to your sustainable gardening routine.
Just remember, if you need larger pots, you might need another solution. Overall, it's a neat choice for small, eco-friendly gardening ventures.
