Bio-degradeable pots...the wave of the future?

We have been hearing and seeing a lot in the past two or three years about the development of pots that are eco-friendly and bio-degradeable. Being aware of this has made us watch the market for cost effective ideas about how we can help sustain our environment. Our question to you, the consumer, are you willing to pay a little bit more when it comes to plastic versus bio-degradeable? At this point in time, plastic pots are still less expensive but cannot be recycled. The bio-D pots will break down over a year or two in a landfill or can be used for a season at your home. We welcome your comments or you can cast your vote at the bottom of this page.

The Launch!

Welcome to our new blogspot! Hope you enjoy our weekly (could be more!) blog about the changes and exciting events here as spring unfolds before us. I'm going to try and keep you informed and perhaps get you keen for warm weather and planting season. You probably already are. We are, but have alot of growing and preparation to do first. I hope you enjoy hearing about what we're up to, here at Huron Ridge! Our latest crop is Primula, which is featured on the sidebar. They are little bursts of colour on a dreary winter day. We are also growing Cineraria, another potted plant as well as many other annuals for the spring. The sunshine today has been fabulous! The greenhouse on a sunny day really boosts the spirits which is good for the soul. Unrooted Gerainum cuttings that we just "stuck" today! A flat filled with little tiny petunia seedlings. They're so small yet that they can hardly be seen! A variety of the hybrid annuals for planters, The white flower is a type of trailing phlox and the lime green colour is sweet potato vine.
