Aren't they bad for the environment though?

Has anyone used these pots as sold by twowests?

http://www.twowests.co.uk/TwoWestsSite/product/PP.htm

Im interested because they seem cheap as chips and yet they are
new/uniform looking (as i want to grow plants in them i can then sell
for charidee so presentation is important) as well as probably being
quite efficient with space.
I am concerned they will be difficult to use tho, say having a similar
issue that black bin bags have when you are trying to fill them -
constantly falling shut.


No I haven't any experience, but try this for an idea. To avoid the

falling
shut problem, put the poly pot you're filling into an appropriately sized
plant pot and either fold the top over, or wet the inside of the pot so

the
poly pot sticks to it, at least long enough to fill with compost.
