There ain’t no stopping the green movement, and we’re in the driving seat!
PrimeHort has committed to an environmentally friendly seedling pot for home gardeners. In December 2023, we launched a fantastic new product called Eco Fibre Pot Packs and our warehouse is now heavily stocked-up with these clever little pots.
Bundled together in eye-catching packaging, Eco Fibre Pots are already finding their way to leading garden centres across the nation and feedback has been very positive.
Like all good retailers, we know it can be a constant juggle to evolve your offering to keep pace with consumer demand. But having a solid sales strategy around a more sustainable garden products is essential. Have you got Eco Fibre Pots on your hit-list?
Likewise, if you are reading this as a savvy home gardener, be sure to throw a few in your cart today, or enquire directly at your local garden centre and ask for them by name – The Gardener Eco Fibre Pots.
What are Eco Fibre Pots?
The Gardener Eco Fibre Pots are an innovative seedling pot that is made from 100% biodegradable wood fibre and are certified organic and peat free. Many competing products still have glues and binders, so are not entirely biodegradable.
Benefits of Eco Fibre Pots Vs Plastic Pot
The best feature of an Eco Fibre Pot is the ability to start your seedlings in the pots and then plant them directly into the ground (no need to de-pot) and zero root disturbance. This also saves time and effort in the garden.
We are getting excellent reports from home gardeners who use Eco Fibre Pots. Evidence has shown a faster cultivation period than with plastic pots and an excellent root system (again, because there is no root disruption). There is also no root coiling, and the clever pot environment stimulates secondary root growth.
Unlike plastic, Eco Fibre Pots are permeable to the air, water and roots.
No more plastic waste to be collected, cleaned, stored or discarded after planting is a big win too.
Available in square, round and various pack sizes make them a versatile product.
For a little pot, they’re packed with features!
