I'm getting ready to start my seeds indoors in the next few days. I was all out of recycled plastic pots to start my seeds in so I cruised the internet and found a way to use old newspaper for seedling pots.
So Exciting! (well, for me anyway)
And Free! (are you excited yet?)
So here's the instructions on how to make your own FREE seed starting pots.

And here's some of my FREE finished pots. (wait, I said that already)
Gonna plant tomorrow.

Oh so excited!! I was gonna try to bum some cardboard egg cartons off neighbors or something..but this will work even better!! Where do people come up with these ideas!! :)
Great idea, My plan is to work on my seeds this weekend and get them going. So thanks for the tip!
That is so cool! I will have to give those a try - seeds start next week, if all goes as planned. My five year old wants to know when his cucumbers will start growing, so I better get to work!
One year I saved nearly a years worth of toilet paper rolls, cut them in half, stood them on end crowded in a tote that we'd lost the lid for and dumped in the potting mix. We don't get the newspaper but I think I got the tp roll idea from the same place.
Too cool! I'll try this out with some seedlings next week.
Thanks for the frugal gradening tip...your wealth of information is invaluable to me.
thanks that was great...I will be making some of my own!!!
Love these pots, have used them for years. Grandma called them depression pots, we just called easy and cheap.
This is brillant. I've already got my spring veggies going but I'm definately using this to start my flowers! Thanks for sharing!
Okay, it is this kind of post that makes me love your blog so much! I nominated you for the Attitude of Gratitude award. You can check it out at http://thecoupongame.blogspot.com
Thanks for all you do!!
So where did you get your free 20lb bag of fertilizer?
I'm new to gardening, but we are going to try to have one this year. This is a great tip and I have the newspaper already. :)
This is great! I just planted some seeds in the little tiny Jiffy pots, but have some more in the next week or so that I wanted to put in pots. I've ALWAYS got newspaper and I love to find ways to use it. Thanks! I'm definitely doing this. Maybe even the kids would think it was a little fun?!
Awesome!!! Thanks so much for sharing that! I'm gonna try it!
I am excited to try this!! We are a little late getting started due to weather and $$ but I'll try this! If you don't mind I'll blog about it too using the same video! So neat!
Thank You.
This is genius. I am visiting this post again Next March!!
