We are in prime seed-starting mode and a few people had questions about making seed pots from newspaper. I decided to make a little tutorial video for reference. Here it is:
Hopefully this short video, along with my earlier post that lists out the instructions, will keep things nice and simple for you. Remember that when you are ready to plant the seedlings outdoor, bury the seed pot into your veggie bed after gently peeling back the bottom. The whole pot should decompost into the veggie bed.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much for this video! I made a bunch yesterday and potted a bunch of our seedlings into them!
How do you water them?

Water as you would with any other seedling pots. Avoid handling the pots when they are really wet. Good luck with your seeds!

Hi, Thank you for this great video. I just made my newspaper pots last night and they were so much fun. I put my pots into an aquarium I had lying around. I hope you don’t mind but I will be linking your video on my blog.
Thanks again!
