Burgon and Ball Paper Pot Maker, Plastic Free Seedling Pot Making Kit

The Burgon and Ball Paper Pot Maker is a simple and effective tool that allows you to create your own seedling pots using recycled paper, making it easy to reduce plastic use when sowing and growing at home.

Designed for gardeners who want a more sustainable approach to propagation, this clever kit transforms ordinary newspaper into sturdy, biodegradable seedling pots. Simply roll a strip of paper around the wooden former, tuck one end underneath to create the base, then use the shaping tool to secure it neatly in place. Once filled with compost, the pot is ready for seeds or young seedlings.

As plants develop, the entire pot can be planted directly into the soil without removing the seedling. This avoids root disturbance and allows plants to establish more easily. Over time, the paper pot naturally breaks down in the ground, returning to the soil without leaving waste behind.

The kit creates 3 different pot sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of seeds and young plants. Smaller pots are ideal for fine seedlings, while the larger size gives developing plants more room to grow before planting out. Full illustrated instructions are included, making the kit easy to use for beginners while still being appreciated by more experienced growers.

Made from FSC certified hardwood, the pot maker is built to last and designed for repeated use season after season. Entirely plastic free and thoughtfully designed, it also makes a practical and meaningful gift for gardeners who care about sustainable growing.
