Learn how to make biodegradable seed starting kits out of newspaper in this how-to video by MOTHER EARTH NEWS editor Hannah Kincaid.Avoid spending too much money on pre-made seed starting kits and instead use materials that you have around your home, such as newspaper, brown paper bags or paper towel rolls. When your seedlings are ready to be transplanted to your garden, simply drop the entire biodegradable bundle into the ground, without disrupting the sensitive roots.

Are paper towel rolls and such generally made with harmful chemicals or are they pretty biodegradable?
It appears there is no bottom in this newspaper pot!

Hannah, you are beautiful, but no more tattoos. You are too lovely.
I was distracted by how pretty Hannah was…
If you put the ends of the paper on the inside of the circle it is much more stable.
