Our Biodegradable pots and coir pots collection is for gardeners who want strong, healthy plants and kinder choices for the soil at the same time. These pots are designed to be planted straight into beds, borders or containers, so roots can grow out into the surrounding compost with minimal disturbance. They are ideal for seedlings that dislike root checks, such as peas, beans, sweetcorn and many flowers.
You will find small pots for first sowings, medium sizes for potting on and larger coir pots that work brilliantly for patio veg and greenhouse crops. Because the material slowly breaks down in the soil, there is no need to tip plants out or squeeze roots, you simply pop the whole pot into its final spot. They are a great match for peat free composts and a useful option if you are trying to cut down on single use plastic in the garden or on the allotment.
At Allotmate Essentials we choose biodegradable pots and coir pots that hold together while you are watering and moving them, then gently soften once they are in the ground. Keep a stack by your potting bench and you will quickly get used to the ease of planting out a tray of seedlings without a pile of empty plastic pots left behind.
