Why You Should Use A Rice Hull Pot Instead of Plastic

Good Intentions

In these eco-conscious times, we’re all looking for ways to generate less trash and use less plastic. That may be a difficult thing to do if you’re a plant lover.

Plastic is lightweight, durable and has a long life, making it a popular material choice. The downside is that these plastic pots usually end up in landfills, taking up room and not decomposing. 

Plant Based Alternatives

Up until a few short years ago, there wasn’t really a viable alternative to plastic. Now we are starting to see more eco-friendly options such as reusable grow bags and pots made from various plant fibers such as bamboo or rice hulls.

You may not have any control over what the plants you’re purchasing are planted in, but you do have options for transplanting. One of the newer, plant based products on the market is rice hull pots.

What are rice hulls? Rice hulls are the hard outer portion of a grain of rice that is not edible and is removed during processing. The rice hulls are used for a wide variety of things such as fertilizers, solid fuels and animal bedding.

Will it last?

The biggest benefit I see with these pots is their long life. They’re hard, durable and last up to five years outdoors, and much longer indoors. When their useful life is up, simply add to your compost pile and they’ll break down naturally.
