You know those cute little six-packs of veggies you pick up at the garden center? By wrapping TL’s mini-pots around a SQUARE spice container instead of a round one, you can make your own.
1. Tear in half one sheet of newspaper and fold into thirds. (Please ignore the dirt, I’ve been moving seedlings around and sprinkles got everywhere.)
2. Wrap around square spice jar and tape. (Recommend masking tape–biodegrades)
3. Fold the bottom end like a present, tape, and crease edges.
4. Waa-laa, square pot!
5. Now, use all the little slivers of uncooperative masking tape that didn’t come off the roll right to connect your pots.

This is a great idea. I tried it this past spring, but the bottom, with so many layers of newspaper didn’t break down fast enough. The roots, after I dropped them in the ground, got a little choked from not being able to spread out. I recommend opening up the bottom of the newspaper planters before putting them in your garden so the roots have room to spread out.
