Presume they were talking about the creation. If you're using more toilet roll than usual then more needs to be created and however biodegradable the product is, it's creation and transport (let alone packaging) still creates a fair bit of pollution.

How thick of me! Thanks Alison.

Just cutting up some newspaper and threading it on the string as I type ...

As to time consumption, once you get the technique, you can make them really quickly, a few while you are waiting for a kettle to boil a few while you watch TV etc you soon build up a store.

I have nerve damage in my hands, trust me when I say it is too time consuming for me. Besides, those are the times I log on here, I'd much rather be on here than fiddle around with newspaper when there are perfectly serviceable alternatives and better uses for newspaper!

I agree, seems like a lot of work (and fiddly).

I use a lot of newspaper "pots" (for things that dislike root disturbance), I just roll a piece of newspaper around an aerosol can and tuck the bottom in.

^^^^^ You can then use a small milk bottle with its bottom cut off to help fill the rolls with compost. It acts as a scoop and funnel all in one
