Put your old newspaper to good use with a Paper Potter
Most people automatically put their daily newspaper straight into the recycle bin once they've read it, but if you're a gardener there's another way you can use them. This Paper Potter gadget allows you to make little biodegradable seedling pots from strips of newspaper. Once the young plants have hardened you can transfer them, in their paper pots, into bigger pots or straight into the ground without damaging their roots, and the paper pots simply degrade. It's a good way to introduce kids to sustainable living, while getting them involved in green gardening techniques. The Paper Potter is made from 100% FSC certified wood and is available from ECOutlet.
