Hi all,
I was just wondering if anybody had used biodegradable seedling pots and if so did they find them benificial. I have also seen an item called the paper potter which lets you make biodegradable seedling pots out of old news paper. It sounds great but I would be afraid the news paper pots would fall apart after too much watering and might not last long enough to get the seedlings in the ground. And what about ink leeching into the soil? I can't imagine that would be too healthy.

Am I worrying about nothing?
