Pots can be made from recycled newspaper...

Here is a link to instructions for a newspaper pot folded in origami style.
Folding is a bit of a challenge, but it makes a really cool square pot.

Here is another version of the same concept that is easier to fold:

Pots can also be made by just rolling a tube and smashing one end together.
Pot makers are sold for doing this, but here is a link showing how to do the
same with a water glass

Have fun.

An electronic newsletter to which I subscribe urges people to either buy
nursery cans and flower pots immediately or order them fast. Gardeners
should start hoarding. Don't throw away pots. The reason is:

A war with Iraq could lead to very high container prices, according to
container manufacturers. Crude oil is used to make plastic pots, and it has
risen from $16 per barrel 6 months ago to $35 today. A war could raise
prices to $50 and beyond.
