This is the video I made on how to make pots out of newspaper. I hope I sent it correctly
Great video! One of the simplest demonstrations I've come across. Quick too.

Aside from the cosmic karma points for recycling, I am intrigued by newspaper pots for two reasons: the material allows for a degree of air-pruning, and the dimensions are flexible.

Consequently, I was wondering if deeply transplanting seedlings into pots 3.5" wide and 5-6" deep would allow me to squeeze more real estate out of 1020 trays in the weeks leading up to planting (or selling) without sacrificing the plants' root system. Do you have any experience in doing anything similar?

I'd love to hear more about your experiences so far, thanks for sharing.
