Any gardener worth his salt knows that growing seedlings in plant holders is the best way to grow plants. However, transferring delicate plantlets from plastic or polyethylene containers into the soil is a daunting process. Even the slightest mistake can cause the transferred seedlings to weather eventually. That’s why most people use biodegradable seed starting pots to start their gardens.

Though eco-friendly greenhouse and nursery containers made from peat and coconut coir have been around for years, the popularity of compostable molded fiber pots has risen recently. Watering them initially can be a bit harder, but they can hold more water compared to peat and coconut coir pots, making them a better option for seed starting. In addition, they are durable and inexpensive.
