I spent time explaining each item I shared and how I use them. In the video, I spoke about how I used to make these newspaper cups early in my gardening adventures. Newspaper cups for me, a new gardener, provided an abundant amount of seed starting cups for a new and very enthusiastic gardener to take on a new hobby and eventually gained a useful skill.The cups were practical and environmentally friendly and that's all I needed to fall in love. All I had to do was plant a seed in the cup with some good seed starting mix, water, good/enough light and wait for the growth, and when the plant were ready to live in the garden, there was no need to remove the plants from their home, just place the cups in the garden and allow them to biodegrade into the soil.
It was win-win for my budget and the soil.
Using these cups as a growing method for years, I never thought they would be out of my repertoire, but they did. As newspaper prices rose, my purchases of them slowly declined which ultimately turned into no more purchases, I went strictly digital.
Clearing out the tons of paper, I collected over the past year, I found these couple of pages from a local paper in my area(I honestly don't know where this came from) and my first thought was-I'm gonna make a couple of newspaper cups.
