Each bundle contains 10 wool plant pots.
The most common sized pots in the UK are 9cm and 13cm. Wool Pots are made at 9cm and stretch to 13cm – just put more compost in!
Just like a normal pot, fill with compost and plant your seeds or cuttings, water and watch your plants grow. When the plant is big enough to plant out in your garden just dig a hole and pop the whole plant in. Make sure you leave the rim of the Wool Pot proud of the soil as wool is a natural slug and snail deterrent.
Wool Pots are knitted from washed wool… we know knitting plant pots sounds strange but we can assure you Wool Pots are strong, naturally biodegradable, environmentally friendly and plants love them.
Wool Pots are proud members of the Campaign for Wool and are thrilled to be helping farmers find a new market for their wool.
Wool Pots are environmentally friendly, totally sustainable and endlessly versatile, and wool is also the gardeners friend:
We have our Wool Pots in a trough or in terracotta dishes and after the initial watering from the top we then water from the bottom as wool will wick up the moisture and keep it inside, this also helps draw the roots downwards.
Once the Wool Pots are in the soil they start to breakdown very quickly and within 6-7 weeks they are delicious plant food. In a greenhouse and watered from the bottom Wool Pots can last several months before they need to be planted out – the plants will let you know when they are ready… you will see roots start to poke out of the bottom.
Packaging is becoming more of an issue – Wool Pots packaging is minimal, just a small length of yarn tied around bundles of 10 pots with a small card label which includes instructions. And the 100% recyclable box or packet that enables this product to be sent to you in the post.
