As I mentioned in my last post, we’re in full swing gardening mode over here! Thought you might be too so I wanted to share how we start our seeds indoors with very little money or time.
We’ve tried everything when it comes to starting seeds and this is by far my favorite method. All you need is a Paper Pot Maker (this is the exact same one I have and I enjoy it) and newspaper.
Follow the included instructions which are: basically cut a strip of newspaper, wrap around wand portion of Paper Pot Maker, fold ends over, and press into base. Tada! Super cheap and easy seed pot!
And that’s it! Fill with your favorite organic seed starting soil, add awesome non-treated seeds, place on an old baking sheet or tray and wait for the magic to start!
I made all of these little pots in under five minutes and was only out the cost of the Seed Pot Maker (thanks for the newspaper, Mom!) The boys even enjoyed helping tear and wrap the paper! Jack said he’s excited about tomatoes this year. Max has high hopes for the seed in the picture above. 😉

That is soooooo cool! Those little pods at the garden center are so expensive and they never really work for me. What a neato-schmeato little gadget!
