These containers are easy to store for future use as well.
STEP 1. Keep the sheet on a flat surface and make sure the sharp edged cones are facing towards you.
STEP 2. Keep the Base between two rows of sharp edged cones. Wrap the sheet around it in such a way that it overlaps itself.

Compost
The GreenRoot planters container is just one part of a total growing system. To reap all its potential benefits it is essential to use a suitable compost mix and give the plant sufficient water. Lack of aeration and poor drainage are big problems when growing in traditional containers. However no such problems exist with the Greenroot Pot system. Increased oxygenation means that the compost can be compacted in the containers without becoming anaerobic. More compost means more nutrient for the plant.
