Make your own recycled paper seed pots.
An ingenious tool for making biodegradable pots from old newspaper. When the seedlings are mature enough, plant complete with with the pot into the ground.
A great way to keep your gardening free from un-sightly plastic trays and pots. Use the press form and crimp strips of newspaper into plant pots. Seedlings can be left in the pots when planting out to avoid disturbing the roots, and the newspaper rots down in moist soil. Growing your own plants from seed is now even more cost effective and environmentally friendly.
Instructions:
- Tear a strip of newspaper 16cm wide and approx. 40 cm long.
- Fold strip in half along the length.
- Roll strip around the press with the folded edge at the top of the cylinder (paper will overhang the bottom of the press).
- Holding the rolled paper, scrunch the bottom edge and tuck it inwards under the press
- Align with the base of the press. Push down firmly with a twist to crimp the paper pot base. Slide the pot off the press.
Simple instructions are on the box.

About the Company
Creamore Mill is a design and woodturning workshop located in rural Shropshire, England. We create an innovative range of functional home and garden accessories which evoke traditional style. Our outlet is mainly through independent retailers across the UK and overseas.
Established by John Buckland in 1981, operations began in a ten foot square former wash house at the family’s previous home with a handful of tools and a wood lathe, and working locally sourced timber. Through this initial period a selection of designs came to the fore and developed the focus of the business.
Having soon run out of space the family moved to Creamore Mill which was formerly both a corn and wood mill dating back many generations. Taking on the Mill in a state of disrepair was a great opportunity, and the renovations carried out revived the Mills past association with woodworking and turning.
Steady improvement led to more mechanisation which is tempered by the high degree of hand work still practiced. Seeing progress from design through to despatch under one roof holds the artisan approach true.
John’s wife Cathryn and their five sons have provided much input over the years and sons Sam and Oliver now share leading roles.
With four decades of experience and many design originals under our belt, Creamore Mill continues to enjoy the support of its many advocates as a family concern.
