I use mine all the time and have had it for years. You could also try just rolling some newspaper strips around a can and fastening the ends with a bit of tape. I've done that to make larger pots, it's a more tedious process though...Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-55129077943338952002010-01-18T22:34:05.118-08:002010-01-18T22:34:05.118-08:00I've been seeing these paper pot making thingi...I've been seeing these paper pot making thingies for about twenty-five bucks, and I'm sort of choking on that price.<br /><br />Are they worth it?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-85337320126049935242009-02-27T07:16:00.000-08:002009-02-27T07:16:00.000-08:00Hi Michelle, As you know,(or may not know!) this i...Hi Michelle, As you know,(or may not know!) this is my first time EVER sowing seeds, so the kit from Lowe's was my motivational force! But I do see your points as valid...and I will definitely keep this idea at hand when and if, I keep doing seeds! I'm not yet sure how far I'm going to take it!!! One thing I liked about the larger peat pots was that I didn't have to purchase anything else to Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-87371927538102735342009-02-25T07:53:00.000-08:002009-02-25T07:53:00.000-08:00Those paper pots are awesome, Michelle and so many...Those paper pots are awesome, Michelle and so many!

I love when I first start seeing seedlings. <BR/>I'm not a fan of peat pots either. I've heard of some people that rip the bottoms off before they plant them, but that really defeats the purpose.
