COCO COIR BRICK
Coco coir is an excellent choice for a sowing medium due to its superior ability to retain moisture, provide adequate aeration and drainage, and support root growth. It is lightweight yet highly durable, making it easy to transport and store. When coco coir is hydrated with water, it expands up to five times its original size - giving gardeners ample space for high-yield gardening projects. Coco coir's unique properties also make it one of the best materials available when starting seeds as they require more “sponginess” than other types of soil or growing media. Additionally, coco coir doesn't compact over time like other soils do which can hinder seedling growth - allowing your plants to always have the perfect amount of oxygen around their roots!
COW POTS
CowPots are an innovative and sustainable way to start your plants. At 3 inches in diameter, these biodegradable pots protect delicate roots during the planting process. Root shock can be damaging to starter plants, but by using CowPots you can prevent this from happening. They are 100% biodegradable and will decompose in the garden without leaving any waste. The use of CowPots eliminates the need for peat which is used in traditional starter pots and has a negative environmental impact due to its unsustainable harvesting methods. By switching to CowPots as your go-to starter pot, you can help reduce environmental stressors and provide essential nutrients for plant growth. These manure-based bio-pots are a great alternative that not only benefits plants but also gives back to Mother Nature!
