Stumble It!Life starts with a Paper Potter
Everything there – lettuce, peas, carrots, chard – all started life as a seed sown in a pot made with the Paper Potter.
The Paper potter is a fabulous little thing, I’ve blogged about it before and I still love it. Make as many little pots as you need from your own paper recycling, newspaper is best, fill them with compost and sow your seeds. Failure is ok because if a pot fails to germinate the whole thing can go in the compost bin.
But they don’t often fail.
Then when the seedlings are threatening to burst out of the sides of the pot you plant the WHOLE THING in the ground, protecting those delicate roots that seedlings have.
They’re so easy the kids can make the pots, and then sow their own seeds too.
Just look at the results!
Isn’t it just wonderful?

I use a Plastic Rain Barrel to collect rain and re-use it in my bird feeders and garden. http://bit.ly/aii8TF
