In Fact
Biodegradable plant pots are organic and biodegradable pots composed primarily of plant fibers and are sustainably manufactured without the use of glues or binders.
They are truly biodegradable and are intended to be planted directly in the ground or a larger container (there is no need to tear the bottom off the pot first).
Unlike rice-hull pots, starch-based polymers and other ‘biodegradable’ plastics, fertilpots do not require a composting situation to biodegrade.
Because water, air and roots will penetrate the walls of the Fertilpot so easily, there is no need for drainage holes. The natural root structure that develops helps to ensure a successful biodegradable planter.
