Making larger and more sturdy newspaper pots.
Just an idea for someone to try out, I have not done it myself, there is a chance it will work:

1. newspaper strips.
2. boiled starch or flour to make a thin paste as glue.
3. use a brush to apply paste.
4. use molds to make pots.
5. after the pots are dry, use vegetable oil to waterproof inside of pot.

The finished pots will be biodegradable. I estimate it will take about 2 minutes to make a pot once you have a system set up.
