I am guessing that the thickness of the newspaper will determine how fast they will break down and fall apart? Make them thin, or thick depending on what your need is. There is no doubt that he has got it figured out and what I see is a great video. Thanks Kevin

Cool! Are you sure that paper will break down enough to allow roots to spread? Anyway, I like the idea better than peat pots. I really like the bottom wicking water method. Looks very easy! Thanks!

what happens to the ink in the newspaper?
April 13th, 2009 at 11:17 am
Don’t worry about the ink, it is soy based in 99% of newspapers

Very simple, I like.

this is not such a smart idea WHY? do you know from which material are letters made of? from lead! and lead is not good for any living creature. It is not smart to contaminate your plants if you are going to use them later as food font do this! If that is going to be inedible then ok but higher levels of lead can damage a plant

Most newspapers use vegetable inks now. Newspapers are perfectly fine for organic gardening. They’re used in No Dig Gardens and with Vermicomposting too.

Thankyou i will try this i was very impressed with how quickly the seeds germinated…..

Great video-why didn’t I think of this?
Yes, I believe I read (gasp! in a newspaper!) that as of 2004-5, 95% of newspapers were in soy-based ink. Lead was banned quite some time ago. I would think, if it were made of lead, it would be hazardous for us to read, touch, breathe in…

Wow, really great idea – and organic too!
March 18th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
If you bury the pots, how are we supposed to be able to read it then???
March 18th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
Will this work with my old VCR tapes, too?
March 18th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
@DjokaStokic Almost all newspapers use soy ink dumbass.
