ABOUT SEED PAPER
Seed paper (or plantable paper), is handmade paper that is embedded with seeds. Planting the paper in soil allows the seeds to grow.
Seed paper made by Paper-Go-Round is handcrafted from recycled paper. There may be some slight variation between each sheet in thickness and color due to the recycled content.
Soak the seed paper in water until soft. Place paper on seed raising mix (in pot or ground). Lightly cover with more mix, water and keep moist. Germination should take 7 – 21 days.
Note that it is important to keep the seeded paper moist (and therefore soft). More information in XXXX.
Yes it is made here in the western suburbs of Melbourne
The viable life of the seeds depends on the type of seed, eg Bottlebrush and many other Australian natives will last up to 5 or 7 years, whilst most herbs and veggies would be OK for a couple of years.
As the paper is all handmade the thickness ranges from 150 - 200 gsm. On average 180 gsm !
gsm = grams per square metre
