Make your own pots from paper!

Hello friends. Today I wanted to see if paper pots actually work! I had seen these paper pots for seedlings in a video by Millie Ross from ‪@GardeningAustralia‬ (I'm a big fan!!) in a few places and thought I would give them a go. I hope you enjoy!

Big issue with that is that newspaper often contains toxic inks which I am not sure of it the plants then take that in with the water. I would try to get an unprinted source

Hello! Thank you for bringing up this point. My understanding is that newspapers are no longer printed with ink containing heavy metals. A soy based ink is now used for both black and coloured inks in newspapers. Certainly in Australia anyway.
