6cm Biodegradable Peat Pots
Product description
6cm Biodegradable Peat Pots - Jiffypots®
Jiffy pots are manufactured from a minimum of 50% sphagnum peat, 50% wood fibre (pulp) and lime (to regulate pH levels). The peat content gives optimal soil porosity and improved root penetration, whilst the wood fibre gives the pot structural strength. pH 5.0 (+/-1.0)
Benefits:
Air pruning gives strong, fibrous root development
Minimal root disturbance & reduced transplant shock when potting-on
100% biodegradable product means no de-potting & waste packaging generation.
Root zone microclimate averages 1o higher than using plastic pots
Buffering capacity of pot reduces water consumption by approx. 20% compared to plastics
