Today I transplanted 28 tomato seedlings from the little plastic containers in which we started them into the newspaper pots made with a Pot Maker.
That was not the best way to do it. Next time, we should plant the seeds in the Pot Maker pot, and plant fewer seeds per pot, like two in each, so less thinning will be needed and we won’t have to pull multiple seedlings out of those plastic pots and try to separate the roots. I like the Pot Maker pot, but it isn’t large and should really be the first pot for seedlings.
I’d like to find a larger pot I could make myself from material that will decompose in the ground. Maybe newspaper or corrugated, old oatmeal boxes, other cardboard boxes.

Hi, yes the idea is great however I’ve found a better one: it is called next generation paper pot maker and it is much cheaper. Plus you can add soil without damaging the pot you just made.
