Introducing… my Pot Maker

This is my little paper pot maker. It”s a smart little invention. You take those annoying paper flyers that grocery stores bully your mailbox with, and you use them to grow your own veggies! Here, you can see that I cut the papers into little strips and then rolled them around the wooden base and voila! You have this great little pot for your seedling. According to the directions, the paper just breaks down in the soil as it grows, kind of like compost. I filled them up with some potting soil and got growing. Last year I used those handy little expanding peat pots and I really liked them. They were easy to use and my seeds were successful in them, they were alot less work than this, but this was free and you can”t beat that! Well, I guess I still have to account for the potting soil… but it is cheap! I planted my seeds last weekend and the majority are already sprouting. I will keep you up to date on their progress. This year I went with 4 kinds of heirloom tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, tomatillos, lettuce, beets,and some herbs,but I will also sow some vegetables straight into the ground, if it ever warms up Keep me up to date on what you are all growing!kellygrowxo  Read More
