Whilst perusing a Richters 2007 Herb Catalogue (US edition) I (re)stumbled upon a rather nifty device with the Google-unfortunate name of Potmaker. While really nothing more then a small altered wooden pestle and mortar type mechanism this rather simple and pretty dang neato device allows you to make your own biodegradable plant pots from newspaper strips. Now you can start your seedlings and easily transplant them into larger garden beds without using any plastic garden pots. They usually run about $10-$15 a pop.Many companies have their own "potmaker" licensed for their own sale, hence the Richter link and the Burpee link. Just Google "Potmaker" to find more prices, etc.
