Newspaper pots

These are perfect containers for the season's flurry of sowing, as it's possible to pop them straight into the ground once seedlings are ready.

Place a tumbler so that the top lies halfway across the end of a 10 cm-wide strip ot newspaper. Roll the paper around it, folding the excess inside the lip. Pull the glass out and using the bottom of the glass, press down the paper that you'd tucked inside the lip so that it forms a base.
