I have thought long and hard how to keep it simple... less work is always good... I use newspaper pots all the time... they last from now until they hit the dirt... they break down somewhat being whole after planting... but not completely in one season... if you do it put at least 2 layers around... and taped them together... they are also buried in the soil a bit to keep them from flopping over (which happened my first time) just don't handle them too much

here are some of the newspaper pots (I do like the cow pots better now though)

edit -- the reason is the newspaper ones fell apart when hardening off ... and a bunch of rain got them... I had to pick each one up with a trowel to plant them... or they fell apart
