Get Your Own Rice Hull Pots
by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 11.12.07
If your interest in biodegradable containers was piqued by Potting Shed Creations' Organic Rice Hull Gardens, but you'd rather do your own potting, take a look at GreenPots' all-natural containers.
Made from rice husks and starch-based, water-soluble binding agents, these freeze-and-thaw-resistant bowls and urns will decompose in the landfill or compost heap, but not before giving you several years of indoor and outdoor use. Prices start at $6.50. For $21, you can get a pot, with your choice of three herb-seed packets, as part of a garden kit. ::Olive Barn
Is there anything like this for everyday use inside the house? That is, does any company make bowls or plates or silverware out of this material?
So far, this company only has containers for gardening. You can use these indoors though for houseplants, herbs and flowers. We've even put some of our Tillandsia Airplants in them for display.
Do these only come in kits? Are there larger ones?
Go to enviroarc.net for household products like plates and bowls.
