Overview

The paper pot maker is a tool to turn strips of old newspaper into biodegradable pots for seedlings and cuttings. The paper plant pot maker expertly fashions biodegradable pots, combining craftsmanship with a commitment to the environment.

Pots are sturdy and remain intact even as the young plants grow and roots penetrate the newspaper. When plants are ready to transplant, just plant the pots and all into your garden. The newspaper will naturally decompose in the ground.

Features & Benefits:

  • Make your own biodegradable plant pots from newspaper
  • Reduces need for plastic pots and flats
  • Fun, easy way to recycle old newspapers
  • Excellent gift for gardeners
  • Made in Canada from solid maple

How To Use:

The newspaper plant pot maker skillfully turns discarded paper into functional and eco-friendly pots, blending creativity with sustainability. The Potmaker consists of two parts: the press and the form. Simply roll a strip of newspaper around the press, tuck the ends of the newspaper under the press, and push into the form with a twist of the wrist. The 2 ¼ inch pot will slip off the press, ready to be filled with soil and plants!

    Paper pot press

    This is a wonderful tool to make paper pots for growing plants! Myself and a few others have been making pots for growing local lineage native seed that I bring to various gardens that I am assisting the recovery of in the Bay Area in California. Eliminating the use of plastic in the gardening industry will take time and the pot maker is an instrumental part of the solution!!!

    Very Easy to Recycle the Newspaper

    This is so simple to use and makes quick work of my stack of newspapers. I soak the pots in a liquid soluble fertilizer before I add dirt and seeds.

    Easy to make pots

    Had success germinating seeds once in these paper pots. Just remember to keep soil moist. Did not have newspaper to make them from, so just pressed out the packing paper that came in box and it works perfectly as the paper for for the pot.

    Perfect Gift for Gardeners

    I've had a paper pot maker like this one in steady use of over 20 years! I bought this one for my sister for Christmas. She was using plastic cups for starting seeds. I'm encouraging her to minimize her use of plastics. These are perfect because there is no transplant shock. Roots eventually push through the paper as it decomposes when plants are put out into the garden. When my newspaper started publishing in color (black ink is soy based, not sure about colored) I used the lightweight brown paper used to stuff around my dog food order.

    This Press is so awesome. I love that it is so natural to plant in it and the newspaper just dissolves and the roots are free to grow. Eartheasy is such a great place to do all your planting needs. I appreciate your store and all that you offer. I give you 5 stars. Thank you again.
