Make paper pots for your seedlings to plant directly into the garden, without those well-meaning but unnecessarily expensive ‘eco-pot-makers’.  Folks have made paper pots like this for a long time.  

 We don’t have newspaper here, so we re-use our office copy paper. You can use any paper you like, to make any size pot you like. The seedlings will love you – no transplant shock as the whole pot goes right into the soil and breaks down super-fast. The paper will last just long enough to do the job, and also return carbon to the soil. 🌿
