I've been making my starter pot out of newspaper for over twenty years. I
think it works great.

I read your previous post about doing that, and can't wait until next year.
=) We received several flats this year in what appears to be unbleached
paper towels rolled up in the same manner. I like the simplicity as well as
the reduced stress on the plants at transplant time. IOW, I'm quite sold on
the idea. Thanks!
