Most nursery plants come in plastic pots or "six packs" that are made with #5 (PP) or #6 (PS) - neither of which are as readily recyclable as #1 or #2 plastics.If you garden a lot and plant annuals yearly you either accumulate or throw out lots of hard to recycle pots. (look for a post on where to recycle these in SouthEeatern Pa). I am lucky to have found a place to take #5 and #6 but for most people these pots end up landfill. Not a very green way to garden !!
Some garden stores, including chains like Home Depot, are now offering plants that have eco friendl
y compostable or biodegradable containers.EcoPots makes theirs of Coir. "EcoPotsTM are constructed of 100% Biodegradable Coir Fiber ... Benefits include ... Plant Directly in Ground ... Elimininates "Plastic Waste" ... Plants Utilize Natural Nutrients ... "
