What makes this seed kit truly sustainable
Compostable Box
The perfect base to start your “no dig” garden, shred it to feed your worms or add carbon to your compost bin. The only limit in ways to re-use this resource is your imagination.
Zero Waste Coir Coins
Made from the waste product of coconuts and forming the perfect growth substrate for your plants.
ECO-FRIENDLY SEED PACK
Made using glassine, an amazing eco friendly material that can be composted unlike most other seed packets available.

Instructions
- Open the box and remove the coir coins.
- Place the coir coins into a thin layer of water e.g. inside a bowl, until saturated. Once the coins are fully swollen/expanded, lightly squeeze to remove any excess water.
- Plant several seeds from your chosen packet into each coir coin (for most plant types, there will be spare!).They should be within the coin and not exposed to the air.
- Place the coins into a warm spot away from direct light and keep moist (but not water-logged).
- Once the first set of leaves (and therefore the roots) are properly formed, gently tease the coin apart and put each individual plant into its own pot with potting compost.
