I had asparagus in some (used a few sheets to make them not sure now how many off the top of my head) for almost three months and they were in pretty good shape upon setting out the asparagus. They do hold up better than expected. Good luck :-)<BR/>monicaDancingfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542161200214992918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-16227617099923183182009-02-12T16:01:00.000-05:002009-02-12T16:01:00.000-05:00I am researching these for my garden project this ...I am researching these for my garden project this spring/summer. I'm glad I saw your blog because I was going to buy a $20 one from the seed company! One thing I wonder though... How does a person water the seeds in the newspaper pots? Seems like watering them would make them break down faster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-61405237603659016202008-12-23T13:50:00.000-05:002008-12-23T13:50:00.000-05:00Attention Webmaster:The Link to Newspaper Pot #1 T...Attention Webmaster:<BR/>The Link to Newspaper Pot #1 Takes me to an Adult Dating site.. you may want to investigate.<BR/><BR/>Txs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-51776924430483155762008-04-30T10:04:00.000-05:002008-04-30T10:04:00.000-05:00Hello Uncle PavianI leave them in the newspaper po...Hello Uncle Pavian<BR/>I leave them in the newspaper pot because, yes it does bio-degrade so there for it is good for the plants. However if the soil has shrunk down within the pot and the plant is one that can not be buried lower---tomatoes can but umm....a tree seedling can't.( I had trouble thinking of an example!) then I will rip the top of the pot off or remove the plant. If you leave the top edges exposed they will wick away moisture which is not an issue with a large tomato plant (or other large plant) but is with say a small baby plant.<BR/>Good luck!<BR/>MonicaDancingfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542161200214992918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-82409870445325110482008-04-30T09:12:00.000-05:002008-04-30T09:12:00.000-05:00Do you leave the newspaper pots around the plants,...Do you leave the newspaper pots around the plants, or do you take them out when you put them in the ground? The newspaper is supposed to biodegrade, but I've seen differing opinions about whether that happens fast enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-16524877237441454762007-02-01T08:10:00.000-05:002007-02-01T08:10:00.000-05:00Hey Cheryl:

I am using #4 also but #1 is my choice for some of the heavier plants like the tomatoes and artichokes that I need to pot and re-pot. I will compare and see if it's worth the extra hassle of building the more "complicated" pots. I have never used the other style (the easier ones!)<br />MonicaDancingfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542161200214992918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915198895997970267.post-76824867536259277812007-02-01T03:31:00.000-05:002007-02-01T03:31:00.000-05:00Thanks for the links!
