A simple, yet efficient product. A product that will last a life time, easy to use and it means you never need to buy seedling pots again. Emma Pye -
Paper Potter is child's play I got this gadget last winter and my 3 year old daughter helped me to make hundreds of paper pots for seedlings. She really enjoyed it as they were easy to make. It saved me buying small pots/plug trays and I was able to plant straight into ground without removing from pots first. Elizabeth - North London
Potting Great! Paper pots all around, works like a dream, the dream I had making paper pots. x marc - uk
Paper Potter I bought this as a present and it was very well recieved, particularly since it is ecologically and economically conscious. JM - Nottingham
Fun, econimical and environmentally friendly! Not only are they fun to use, they create inexpensive pots made from old newspapers which reduce your carbon footprint by recycling yourself and not going to recycling centres! I have not only used them myself but given them as presents to other green fingered friends.REAL RECYCLING Karin Carruthers - Norfolk
Excellent Present I have now given a couple of these as presents and both have been very well recieved. The potter is novel, useful and well made - I have been told that they inspire people to grow plants which never can be a bad thing! Sally Riggs -
A must for any gardener We purchased this potter for our school environmental club. The children have found it excellent fun. We are able to recycle old newspapers whilst making plant pots that the children can plant into the soil without having the fiddly job of pricking out or dividing plants. We completely recommend.

Using a Paper Potter is fun, it works and saves lots of plastic. It's a wonder why anyone hasn't thought of this before.
