I have been making my pots out of newspaper for the last couple of

it's dangerous to use. Can anyone tell me if it's true please.
Me too. But for years I've done this. I'm still here, and so are the
vegetables and flowers I propagate in them.

Arsenic is a common element within the soil itself, and I'm sure a
trace in the paper pots won't make the slightest difference to your
crops. Keep doing it and save on manufactured fiber pots.
