  • Paper Pot Maker

    Make your own sustainable pots to raise seeds or transplant seedlings into.

    Made from recycled wood, this simple yet effective tool allows you to craft pots from newspaper or scrap paper. 

    Made by a local turner in Auckland, New Zealand.

    Description

    How to Use:

    Cut your paper into strips (we recommend old newspapers or recycled paper).

    Roll the paper around the base of the tool and secure it.

    Slide off your homemade pot and fill it with soil.

    Plant your seeds or seedlings straight into the soil with the newspaper pot, then watch them grow in a biodegradable home that will break down naturally in the garden.

    Easy to use and clean; also fun to do with the kids and it is waste free!

    Features

    Dimensions:

    Comes with a 7cm diameter base (perfect for small to medium-sized seedlings).

    Care of tool

    Clean after use and dry properly. Store in a dry sheltered place.

    Avoid Overloading: When making your pots, don't force the paper into the tool — this will ensure it stays in good shape for repeated use.

    FAQ

    Q:What materials can I use with the Paper Pot Maker?
    A: The Paper Pot Maker works best with newspaper or any other scrap paper you have lying around. Avoid glossy or wax-coated paper, as they won’t break down in the soil as easily.

    Q: How big are the pots?
    A: The pots created by the Paper Pot Maker are approximately 7cm in diameter, making them ideal for small to medium-sized seedlings. You can easily adjust the height depending on the length of your paper strips.

    Q: Can I use these pots outdoors?
    A: Yes! Once your seedlings are ready to be transplanted into the ground, the paper pots will biodegrade naturally, leaving no waste behind.

    Q: How long will the pots last before breaking down?
    A: Paper pots will start to break down over time once in the soil, typically within a few weeks after transplanting. They are designed to be temporary, so they’ll decompose as your seedlings establish roots in the ground.

    Q: Is it easy to use?
    A: Yes, it’s very simple! Just roll your paper around the base, secure it, and slide off your pot. You can make a batch in just minutes and have them ready for planting.

    Q: Can I reuse the Paper Pot Maker?
    A: Absolutely! The Paper Pot Maker is durable and built to last, so you can make pots season after season.
