Reuse broken pots

When diving into your pot garden, there’s a small but important detail that is often overlooked: the bottom fill. Adding a layer at the bottom of your pots helps ensure that excess water can drain away.

While many choose to use clay pellets or small stones as bottom fill, we can actually make use of our broken pots in a smart way instead of throwing them away.

If you’re a bit of a pot enthusiast like us, it likely happens from time to time that pots break. Instead of seeing these broken pots as waste, you can turn them into useful shards that serve as excellent bottom fill in your other pots.

Here’s how you do it:

Take time to further break the pot when an accident occurs, so you get some suitable shard sizes to place at the bottom of your pots. Make it a habit to keep broken pots for this purpose.

By reusing broken pots as bottom fill, you not only extend their lifespan but also reduce waste and provide your plants with a better growing environment. It’s a win-win!

So, the next time one of your pots breaks, remember to see it as an opportunity to create an even better home for your plants rather than just waste. Let’s work together for a more sustainable and greener gardening culture!

And if you’re in need of new pots, you can find them on our webshop (if you’re a retailer) or through our retailers (if you’re a private customer).
