I think this idea is brilliant! Who doesn’t get sale flyers each week in the mail or read a newspaper. What to do with them? Well here is a great idea from Pecan Sandies. She does a great job showing you how to step-by-step fold up a tiny pot perfect for starting seedlings. The best part-no glue or other supplies needed!

This is a great idea, but I would use plain newsprint, not newspapers. Colored ink in newsprint has heavy metals in it that you would not want in your garden, plants, or soil!
we use a discarded tire to put around our mint plant. It makes the mint look very nice, and if it grows outside of the tire, we just pick that part so that its only growing from the middle of the tire.
I started using a layer of newspaper in my vegetable garden to block weeds several years ago, and it’s the best solution I’ve found. By the end of the season it decomposes and it can be turned over into the soil. I’ll definitely make these seed starters next year.
