Cost-effective pots with green appeal

摘要

Sally Drury looks at a range of pots that can help to reduce waste and labour costs. Want to save time and money? Need to cut down on labour requirements? Looking to stay the right side of waste regulations? If you haven't reviewed the pots and containers you use, now is a very good time to do it. Trends and developments in design, manufacturing processes and the way the products can be used are bringing benefits for growers. Perhaps the simplest way of reducing costs in the long-term is to use appropriate re-usable containers where possible. Initial outlay may be more, and the cost of washing and sterilisation must be added into the equation, but the more use that can be had out of a container, the greater the saving will be. The Propagation/Growing trays sold by Container-wise Materials Handling are intended to be long-life products. Sales emphasis is totally on re-use, rather than recycling.
