An easy way to begin growing your garden is by using recycled newspaper pots! It’s not only a thrifty use of old newspapers, but a biodegradable way to transplant your seeds outdoors. When your seeds are ready, all you have to do is be sure there are drainage holes poked in the bottom of the pots and place the seedling, pot and all, straight into a freshly-dug hole! As the seedling grows, the newspaper decays into the soil.
