Garden Pots

Now that we have our compost bin, we need somewhere to put all of the soil we will be making. So here is a great idea for recycled planting pots.

These are simple and easy to mass produce, but still highly effective for getting plants started. This can also get parents, family, and businesses involved by having the students go around and collect the newspapers that would otherwise end up in the trash. These can also be made in different sizes, so they can be great as seed starters, or if made large enough they can be used to house adult plants. They can even be used to plant into a larger plot of soil as well, since if the rubber band is removed the newspaper will be able to break down and compost into the soil. Now if only we had a place to put our new planter pots filled with our compost soil. . .
