Holy crap Dave what the heck happened to your fingernail?? OUCH!
@1too3fore You don’t.
@DjokaStokic Almost all newspapers use soy ink dumbass.
Will this work with my old VCR tapes, too?
If you bury the pots, how are we supposed to be able to read it then???
Wow, really great idea – and organic too!
Great video-why didn’t I think of this?
Yes, I believe I read (gasp! in a newspaper!) that as of 2004-5, 95% of newspapers were in soy-based ink. Lead was banned quite some time ago. I would think, if it were made of lead, it would be hazardous for us to read, touch, breathe in…
Thankyou i will try this i was very impressed with how quickly the seeds germinated…..
Most newspapers use vegetable inks now. Newspapers are perfectly fine for organic gardening. They’re used in No Dig Gardens and with Vermicomposting too.
this is not such a smart idea WHY? do you know from which material are letters made of? from lead! and lead is not good for any living creature. It is not smart to contaminate your plants if you are going to use them later as food font do this! If that is going to be inedible then ok but higher levels of lead can damage a plant
Very simple, I like.
this is so cool…a cheap project and fun to get kids to work..er..i mean participate in the joy of gardening
I think I will try this.
lol “what happens to the ink”
Greetings! If you have any questions about gardening please take a look at my page, it’s very helpful and easy!
that works for the US but in france for example, the ink s not clean….
Don’t worry about the ink, it is soy based in 99% of newspapers
what happens to the ink in the newspaper?
I’m so going to do that!!
amazing!!!! thank you very mutch
wow!u clever guy
amazing!!!!
Cool! Are you sure that paper will break down enough to allow roots to spread? Anyway, I like the idea better than peat pots. I really like the bottom wicking water method. Looks very easy! Thanks!
I am guessing that the thickness of the newspaper will determine how fast they will break down and fall apart? Make them thin, or thick depending on what your need is. There is no doubt that he has got it figured out and what I see is a great video. Thanks Kevin
Why didn’t I think of that?
