Seed Pots from Newspaper - How To
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 янв 2015
- Here's a quick video of how I make seed pots out of newspaper. They're quick, simple and cheap to make. I'm starting my seeds this year in these seed pots as well as soil blocks (I have a couple vids of making those too). Sort of an experiment to see if one outshines the other and also because I just like trying things out to see! Hopefully this will find it's way to all of you gardeners in time for spring! And as always thanks for watching!
I own 100% of the audio and visual content of this video. Music clips are created for this channel by my brother-in-law Trey Harris.

I've watched a fair few videos on this subject, yours is by far the best one. I'm not going too watch any more I'll use your method, you kept it simple and to the point thank you so very much
Best newspaper pot I've seen so far.
You can also use toilet paper rolls (the inner cardboard tube). pack the soil straight in, place the seed and they disintegrate after awhile (and worms love cardboard). Nice tip, thanks for sharing.
TheApothecaryAus Thanks! I might just have to plant a couple seeds in some and see how they do. I'm always up for trying a new technique:)
Thanks for the comment and watching!

I love this idea for my pepper nursery
Great info ..great video..thanks..I’m into hydroponics, which gets expensive..the setup etc., supplies, etc..now I can make my own seed starting pots, for my hydroponically sprouted seeds, with less expense..I can’t wait to start making them, and selling the plants at our local Farmers Market..(more profits for me)..thanks..
Great job! Wheat flour paste would be my choice vs. Super Glue. Or just Crimp the top edge to hold it in place once it's off the form.
Also, if you combined this with the soil pot plunger you made then you could combine the two! Pack the soil in the plunger, wrap the newspaper around, then plunge the soil into the newspaper. But I'm sure you thought of that!
Keep up the great work, and have a better day!
I made these paper pots from newspaper & they all got mold on them, mostly on the outside, but it was black mold. I'm now looking into simple soil blocks only. I've used paper cups, reused yogurt cups & used plastic cups, all of which I will no longer waste my time, soil or seeds doing that again. I'd never heard of simple soil blocks until recently, so that is what I'm looking into now. I wish everyone that tries the newspaper pot method great success, but unfortunately it did not turn out for me.
Mikerri Same here....
You got the Mold because the Mold is already in your house.
@@Pipping-Hot I'm sure you are right. I do have a mold problem. I'm convinced this house needs to be torn down and a new one built or moved to a different location on the property.
Super glue not so super for the soil and plant....:(
Thank you for posting. I used tubes from paper towels last year. Also I set my seed starters on cookie sheets. I placed the tcookie sheets on a drying rack by a sunny window which worked out great.
snowmanluv No problem Snowmanluv! There are lots of pot types you can make and it sounds like your paper towel tubes were a success too! Thanks for watching!
So simple
Not sure if someone else mentioned it, but wouldn't you be able to use your spoil block maker to also make your newspaper pots? It would be great to wrap the paper around and them tamp the paper down with the plunger portion!! Awesome!!!
+Lisa Johnson that's a great idea Lisa. I used just a regular piece of PVC for these just to show that you really didn't need anything special to do it. But I think that's a fantastic idea with the plunger being used as the tamper portion!
Joe
I know what you mean by the gardening bug. Great videos to get me going. Waiting for supplies to arrive and will do a video on seed starting as well. Can't start to soon, my safe plant date is mothers day!
Suburban Plantation oh man... mother's day is later but when you do get into spring and summer you do have a really wonderful growing environment for sure! Our great time is spring and fall and the middle of summer is basically keeping the plants alive through the heat..lol
Awesome idea...I use cheap Elmer's school glue non-toxic
Yes, that would work too... and for the non-toxic aspect be even better:)
Joe
Super clean. Thx!
***** Thanks Rhett!
I have two questions. 1. What will happen to these paper pot When you watering and can you take the pot with plant place to place without soil dropping out?
Nice... I'll do this
Fantastic idea except no need to use chemicals glue.
I want to use this method but I'm concerned if I pick the wrong glue it might poison the plants. Anyone have thoughts or experience on this?
this is awesome! great video! enjoy your channel. I subscribed.
ssssessss Thanks SSSESSS:) Much appreciated!
pretty good, but isn't super glue toxic? isn't there alternatives? Good Work
He said the alternatives
Adam Lawton Hey, yes, he said some people fold or use tape. I mean something non toxic that you can just put in the ground and forget it...
Miguel Rossi Seabra Thanks Miguel! As for the toxicity of the glue (cyanoacrylate), I'm no expert... but from what I understand, most all adhesives/polymers have some amount of toxicity, but mostly before being dry or cured fully. Once cured they generally pose less of a toxicity risk. Not to say that their aren't any potential toxins, but cyanoacrylate glues even have a history of use in medical procedures (although probably not hardware versions...lol). And when it comes to transplanting them I don't think it'll be too much of a hassle to pinch that section off... but we'll see :)
But if you do have concerns then I'd probably recommend that you do the folding technique. It seems pretty effective as well but I just liked the ease and speed of the glue:)
Anyways, hope that helps clear up any questions you might have. And as always, thanks for the comment and for watching:)
Joe
You could also just use a pair of scissors to cut down the side of the paper when you're ready to plant. Either cut the vertical strip off that contains glue, or make a slit down the side and unwrap the newspaper entirely! Either way, you get a great/free seed pot and no worries about toxicity. I tend to like my newspaper seed pots to be as neat as possible without a lot of fuss in making them, so this idea is right up my alley! Hope that helps!
Thanks alot I am seeding with it
+saif lakhani Sweet! Great to hear Saif:)
Joe
+homesteadonomics What's good in saif ... Do you like this name ???
+homesteadonomics and I haves subscribe your channel
Thanks, and regarding your first question... I was just saying that is was good to hear that you liked the video and then I addressed you by name:) That's all:)
Good video, although I wouldn't use pages with colour on them. Black and white newspapers are fine, nothing real bad in them, but once they add colour to the pages you start getting some not so fun chemicals. And super glue is fine I think, as people do use (the hard ware version) for closing wounds quickly, when you can't get stitches for whatever reason. Cheers!
Canadian Sasquatch Brewery Hey CSB... I just looked and most all are totally black and white but a few here and there have some color in them. Maybe I'll just cut those off during the transplant process:) BTW... my dad has been making quick batches of 'apple wine' recently. Kindof 'prison style'...lol But it tastes pretty good!
Nice! The prison style stuff can work out nicely. Quick and easy. And with some tweaks can make some really good stuff (= Cheers!
Nice video. When I tried newspaper pots they eventually grew white fuzzy mold on them
Adam Lawton Thanks Adam... I'll be sure keep an eye out for the mold. As for now, I'm in the wait mode! Anyways, thanks for the comment and for watching:)

It seemed to be the same stuff to grow on my peat cups. I remember, not to long ago, seeing on a commercial plant start operation video that it was harmless to the plant. Of course once you see it, do your research asap, never want to lose a batch of plants!
I want to make one of your soil presses, but with 5 college classes, 25 hr work week, + running a 3 acre farm, i dont think ill find the time anytime soon. lol Happy growing.
Adam Lawton ouch! I remember those days (minus running the farm;). But I'm considering building another one and doing a giveaway or something like that. So stay tuned and maybe you can win one:)
Regarding the mold, I keep an oscillating fan set on low near my seed starts to combat the mold. Works like a charm.

good idea with the super glue have had trouble with using too many layers of paper not degrading or at least not very rapidly
Matthew Metzler I think I'll give them a couple slits on the sides before I totally plant them just to give the roots a way out. But it's wait and see for now:) BTW... I got some of my seed from Terroir Seeds in Prescott... they have an interesting selection of unusual plants that do well in our hot and arid regions.
homesteadonomics I was thinking that you could saturate the paper with water a day or two prior to planting, to begin the breakdown process...
Blackberry Hideout yeah! thought that too but haven't used paper in a while
Not sure if super glue would be OK for the ground, it's not biodegradable like a basic fold, seems pointless with the glue.

Masking tape ... no glue!!

No super glue, that’s toxic😱
