Newspaper seedling pot maker

Roll newspaper into seedling pots

Wrap a strip of newspaper twice round the 50 mm form, fold the overhang under and press the form down hard on the table to crease the base; slide the pot off, fill it with compost and later plant it out paper and all, so seedlings never need plastic pots.
