5 biodegradable seed-starting planter-pots to DIY

Like many of us, the gardening plans of Michele Pacey (mentioned previously here and here) include growing plants from seed.

In a recent blog post, Michele describes her seed-starting setup: seeds planted in biodegradable newspaper “pots,” which are placed indoors on foam meat trays while the seeds germinate.

After seedlings have sprouted, the plants — pots and all — can be planted in soil.

To make your own biodegradable seed-starters:

Roll newspaper pieces around a jar and close the ends, as Michele shows in this short video, or roll pieces of newspaper around something like this.

Fold newspaper pages, origami-like, into pots. For folding tutorial, see the For Greenies blog.

Cut pieces of paper towel or toilet paper tubes, adding four slits on one end, then fold end pieces together to form a closed bottom. (Photo via girlgearstudio.) Ends also could be left open, as pictured in this earlier Unconsumption post.

Use eggshells, as mentioned here (with description for blowing out eggs).

Use citrus peels. (Found here.)

Another idea: Create mini-greenhouses from cut plastic bottles. Simply place bottle tops over plants. (Found on Poppytalk.)

What household waste do you use for starting seeds?

the approach, the beginning, the dance, the conclusion

I just want to comment quickly on the camera work in these two scenes. The first dance (2.08) is a very intimate moment between the characters. It’s actually one of the few instances where we as the viewer get the pleasure of seeing Matthew and Mary interact completely alone. No outside influence or “audience”. That being said, the motion/movement of scene is crucial to the story telling. They’re more at ease and less confined by their inhibitions.

The choice of camerawork by the DP, handheld with a steadicam, communicates this incredibly well. It allows him the freedom to float effortless around them to the point where we are almost no longer voyeurs. We are instead part of the dance. We experience this private moment with them, thus making the consequences of it all the much more heartbreaking.

The second dance scene (christmas special) is a much more formal affair. They’re in a room full of people; people that are most definitely stealing the occasional glance at them. Watching…waiting to see their next move. It’s a stage. A stage in which we are much more removed from the characters then in the 2.08 scene.

The camera is mounted on a dolly. The fixed, parallel positioning of the dolly track creates a detachment between the viewer and Matthew/Mary. We are no longer a part of their dance, but just one of the guest hoping to steal our own glance. For Matthew and Mary, It reenforces that last bit of emotional distance that exist between them.

A good thing to be reminiscent of before the proposal; all the better to marvel in their progress as a couple.
