"Thanks for all the detailed info. I'm sure others will find it very helpful but it sounds like work to me."
Not much work, really. One can do it while watching or
listening to the weather report, the Yankees/Mets
game, NPR, Rite of Spring, or whatever.
"If I wanted big containers I would just go get more 32 oz styrofoam cups."
Newspaper pots are more customizable as to
height/diameter ratio. And if you have newspapers
around, you never run out of pots before you
run out of seedlings to repot.
" I don't even get newspapers (full of lies)."
Could be an issue. I bet many of your neighbors
do, though.
To try one, borrow part of a newspaper and see for
yourself. 3 pages is about right, one single page
in between the halves of a double page. Fold it
in half twice the long way, roll it up around a can,
add a rubber band, fold the bottom up, stick on
tape. If the can is quite small, tomato paste size
for example, skip the single page in the center, a
folded double page will be thick enough.
Just a thought.
