I made something very similar to these back in the spring using wall paper and I will be making even more during the idle winter months.
Thought I would share this with you all.

ive seen adverts in the sundays for making these.
as i normally use peat pots is it worth investing in one of these machines?
I know the little gadgets you mean.
If you make your own, you can make them the size that suits your needs.
They are stronger than you would expect and hold water very well. Then when it's time to plant out the newspaper/wallpaper will rot down and you won't disturb the roots
