Our story

From coconut husk to the garden bed

A coconut is more than its milk — the husk yields a strong, fibrous coir, and from that coir a pot can be pressed that does something clever. Start a seedling in a Coir & Grow pot, and when it is ready you plant the whole thing — pot and all — straight into the ground. The fibre holds together long enough to protect the roots, then breaks down and enriches the soil. It is a biodegradable pot from Trinidad & Tobago's coconuts, made to go into the earth and disappear.

How it's made

The coir is pressed from the fibrous husk of the coconut, dried and bound with natural pressure into a firm pot. It holds together for a seedling's early life, then breaks down in the soil, adding organic matter as it goes.

How to use it

Fill the pot with soil, sow your seed or seedling, and water as usual. When the plant is ready, dig a hole and plant the whole pot — no need to remove it. The fibre will break down in the ground over time.

Good to know

What can I grow in them?

Almost anything you would start in a nursery pot — herbs, vegetables, flowers and small trees. Choose a size that gives the plant enough room before planting out.

Is it a health product?

No. It is a biodegradable garden pot for starting plants. It is not a medicine and not intended to address any condition — it is a pot for the garden.

How long do they hold together?

They hold their shape for the seedling's early life, usually several weeks. In the ground, the fibre then breaks down over time, releasing the roots to grow freely.

Are they biodegradable?

Yes. The pots break down in the ground over time, adding organic matter to the soil. They are a plastic-free, biodegradable alternative to plastic nursery pots.

Can I plant the whole pot?

Yes — that is the point. When the seedling is ready, plant the entire pot in the ground. The fibre holds together long enough to protect the roots, then breaks down in the soil.

What are coir pots made from?

They are pressed from the fibrous husk of the coconut, dried and bound with natural pressure into a firm pot. The coir comes from Trinidad & Tobago's coconuts.
