I recall the newpaper-log makers.  Rolling newspapers into logs required a
certain moisture content to "take." form and stay.  Maybe a prayer and mist
the paer the slightest amout, the let it air dry until the right 'sense' to
the paper not being crispy dry, but not being soggy like Florida, (or maybe
BEING that soogy) is met.  If this works, why not mist with a fertilizer?

Where are these pot makers sold, their price, and hold good are they?  I've
only seen them once on TV long ago, and gave up TV basically.

For paper mache, just add flour, maybe a teaspoon of that in a mister would be
fine.  If it lumps, blenderize first.  This would mold, If you don't dry it
tho, and would later probably mold.  maybe it w0ould be planted by then.
