(and I don't mean NORML)



It took a few years of aggrevtion with these pots to get this simple idea.

You can use a rubber band around the pot to support it and take away any worry of the flap.



I toyed with the idea of staples or tape, but I find this to be the most "environmentally friendly" as 1) it never touches the plant/dirt if concern of contamination, 2) it is easily removable and 3) it can be re-used.



Though the rubber band is not necessary, it does make the pots more sturdy and makes it easier to fit more into a container because the flap has been secured. I also find that once the paper gets wet (from watering...don't forget to water your seeds!) that it does hold better so it may not be necessary the entire time. Generally speaking, it is easier to just take them off when you plant, and not worry again until then.
