Default Going "Green"

I am VERY pleased to announce that we have begun carrying a new line of
ecologically-friendly flower pots.

You've probably heard and/or read about them already, but these are
hot-pressed from agricultural byproducts (mostly grain hulls) and
natural, starch-based binding agents and biodegradable additives, with
no organic solvents or other toxic ingredients used in the production
process. Even the scraps are reground and reused.

Depending upon your specific conditions, these pots will last anywhere
from 3 to 5 years, and can be composted and incorporated back into the
earth where they will biodegrade, adding organic matter to the soil. Do
not confuse them with peat pots, and the consistency is more like a
typical plastic pot.

If you're interested, check out "The Store" at the URL below.
