Nursery pots, planter bags and trays. Add to the mix, fabric pots, biodegradable pots, punnets, root trainers and big tubs – the options on offer at PrimeHort are extensive!
But what are the best choices for the species you are growing? Or suited to the latest nursery kit you’ve invested in? Or simply for your garden projects at home?
As New Zealand’s leading distributor of nursery supplies, we are committed to being a ‘one stop shop’ for commercial growers and home gardeners. We have at least 20 different nursery pots alone (not including size variances across each range), with options for pressureformed, injection-moulded or thermoformed. The choice on our website for bags, pots and trays is neatly filed across at least 18 subcategories!
Many customers have been with us for a very long time, they know their favourite horticultural supplies and ordering is simple – so this article may not be for them. But for others, the nursery scene is less familiar, or they are scaling up, have added nursery automation to their workplace, or are expanding into new crops. Or maybe a home gardener is reading this and could benefit from a little shopping guidance across our range of bags, pots and trays for high-yielding gardens in the backyard.
While too exhaustive to cover all of our products, we have outlined a few tried and true favourites. Our table provides a quick glossary with useful information. But please reach out if we can provide more specific details to help you make the right choices.
