I am just wondering if anyone has experience of making newspaper pots? and also these things to make them?

Hi.
I have tried wooden pot-makers with some degree of success, however it is quite time consuming to make the pots and the paper can fall apart after a short time when it becomes wet.

I’m all for avoiding plastic if possible and I changed to compostable pots, even cheap ones are OK but found those made by Fertil which are made from spruce fibres are excellent. Sadly their distribution is limited in the UK and usually only available from wholesalers. I bought two sizes a while ago which I’ve part shared with some plot holders to recoup my costs.

I think I still have my wooden pot maker that I no longer use which you are welcome to if you would like it.
regards.

Hi Ron,
That is very generous. I would love to give it a go.
I don’t know if I can send you a message, that isn’t public on here. I shall see if I can figure that out. Cheers.
