....who don\'t know enough to remove the plant from the container before they plant it. This happens more frequently than people realize. The industry has been working on compostable containers for years. The trick is for the container to stay in one piece throughout the supply chain processing long enough for the consumer to plant it. Little things called water and potting soil/ microbes tended to decompose the container. Looks like they\'ve finally succeeded.

Peat pots have been around for 50 years that I know about.

Those are okay for small product sold in trays (plastic) for support, and are for really small and fragile seedlings that don\'t handle being removed from the pot well, things like vegetable garden starts. PW mostly sells annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees in the 1qt thru 3 gal size range for landscaping.
