🌱 Celebrating the start of making newspaper pots in which to start seeds with the annual reposting of the instructions for the pots!
These are square pots. You can plant the entire pot into the ground, but I usually gently pull off at least some of the newspaper first.

@docdieterlen I love this - a combination of two of my hobbies - gardening and origami! I have this little wooden tool that makes round pots out of newspaper - you wrap the paper round a cylinder and then jam it into a little dish thing that tucks the ends in at the bottom. Similar idea but I do love origami - I'll have to try these!

@docdieterlen these instructions are reminiscent of what I learned as a "printer's hat" many years ago.
