Burgon & Ball GEC/POTM Paper Pot Maker, Beige, M

Product Information

Your mind will be blown by how well some rolled up paper will hold up to watering, moving, and seedling maintenance! We keep ours in a 1020 tray to give them a little bit of support, but other than that, we don’t treat them any differently from any other pot (and really that isn’t different either). You can top or bottom water them, move them around, fertilize, handle them—everything you’d do with a tray, peat pod, or pot! We wouldn’t recommend growing for a whole season in a newspaper pot, but they last plenty long enough to stand up through a course of seedling care. Cut a strip of newspaper approximately 3” x 10” in length. It doesn’t have to be exact. A slightly longer strip will give you a sturdier pot. We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons: They’re breathable and breakable: Why is this a good thing? Well, plants suffer when their roots become root bound—meaning their roots twist and form to the side of the pot. With newspaper pots, the roots of plants can break through the newspaper and either continue to grow, or be air trimmed for healthier plants!

Paper Pot Transplanter drastically reduces your farm’s transplanting time and works great with a wide variety of crops! This set makes three different pot sizes: 3cm, 4.75cm and 6cm in diameter, ideal for giving most seedlings a flying start – and all plastic-free. When you keep germinating seeds moist and warm, mold naturally shows up. In general, a little bit of mold is nothing to worry about in your seedlings as long as the plants still seem strong and healthy. In fact, some minor mold growth can be a good sign of a robust colony of microorganisms in your soil!Please note we are unable to guarantee specific delivery dates or delivery timeframes, all delivery times are estimates only. For this biodegradable project, you’ll need a wooden dowel, scissors, and some newspapers. Watch the DIY video here. 8. Crepe Paper Wrapped Pot

Some people like to use a small amount of biodegradable glue or paper tape to keep the top of the pot closed, we haven’t found this to be necessary if the pots are kept in trays. Line the top of the strip up with the top of the cylinder of the pot maker. Wrap the paper around the pot maker, overlapping the ends. Make sure not to wrap too tightly, or it will be difficult to remove. This DIY could be a perfect valentine’s day decoration idea or give these paper bag succulents as the plantfavors.

Paper Pot Seed Cups Press the wooden base plate & cylinder together allowing it to mould the paper into the base shape.But, of course, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, and we haven’t seen any more mold growth with newspaper pots than we have with other kinds of seed starting methods—in fact, we’ve seen noticeably less mold growth with newspaper pots than we’ve seen with plastic pots in the past. Probably because the newspaper is so breathable! Craft these vibrant paper pots using crepe paper, fringe scissors, and succulents. The tutorial is here. 9. Spring Planters Are you a hobby gardener?
