🛠️ How to Make Paper Pack Pot
1. What to prepare
• 1L paper carton: 2 bottles (milk, juice, amazake, etc.)
Scissors / Cutter: Used to cut out packs.
Kiri (or awl): Used to make a drain hole in the bottom.
Tape: Used for reinforcement and to hold the mouth (masking tape is cute).
2. Make the outer frame (1st one)
1. Wash and dry the paper pack.
2. Cut horizontally from the crease on the mouth side to the bottom at the height of your choice (about 10 cm to 12 cm).
3. Make cuts in the corners of the four corners with scissors about 1 to 2 cm from the top, and fold it slightly outward to increase the strength and make it look neat.
3. Make a cross partition (second one)
This is the point of this bowl!
Using the second carton, cut out two flat rectangular pieces.
Width: The same length as one side of the pack (about 7 cm or more)
• Height: Same height as the outer frame
2. Make a vertical cut in the center of each part from top (or bottom) to half.
3. Insert the cuts so that they are engaged with each other, and a solid "cross partition" is completed.
4. Assembly and drilling
1. Set the partition inside the outer frame.
[MOST IMPORTANT] Turn the bottom of the pack upside down and drill 2-3 drain holes in each of the four private rooms.
If the hole is small, water can easily clog, so the trick is to widen it a little after opening it.
If you like, put a 100% aluminum sheet or remake sheet on the outside of the pack to prevent the ground temperature rise in summer and make it look fashionable.
💡 planting tips
Place about 1 cm of Akadama soil in each of the four rooms and then add new soil.
Private room management: By planting one plant in each room, the roots will grow and grow.

紙パックを活用した育苗ポット作り は、環境にも優しく、費用も抑えられるため、家庭菜園やベランダガーデニングを始めたい方におすすめです。私も実際に牛乳パックで育苗ポットを作ってみましたが、十字型の仕切りのおかげで苗同士が競合せず、根がしっかり育つのが実感できました。穴あけの際にキリを使い、丁寧に水抜き穴を広げることで排水不良を防ぎ、根腐れのリスクが低減されました。 さらに、外側にアルミやリメイクシートを貼ることで、夏の直射日光から土壌の温度上昇を抑える工夫も効果的でした。これは特に夏場の育苗で重要なポイントで、苗のストレス軽減に繋がります。底石を敷くことも、湿度調整に役立ち水はけをよくし苗の健康を守る秘訣です。2L以上の紙パックでも応用できるので、お好みの大きさで調整可能なのも魅力です。 この方法は道具を揃える必要がほとんどなく、廃材を有効活用することで持続可能な生活様式にも役立ちます。自分で育苗ポットを作ると、苗の成長を間近で観察できる楽しさが増し、ガーデニングの知識や経験も深まりますよ。ぜひ皆さんも紙パックを活かして育苗に挑戦してみてください！
