Eco-Friendly Bamboo Planters

Where can you buy sustainable containers?

When it comes to selecting containers for planting potted plants this year, why not consider using eco-friendly bamboo planters? Bamboo is a type of grass and is also one of the fastest growing plants in existence. It is found in the Americas and Southeast Asia, and has a wide variety of uses in everything from clothing to building materials. Bamboo is also becoming more popular for use in other eco-friendly items such as planters. A bamboo planter makes an excellent choice due to its environmentally friendly material, durability, and the fact that it is biodegradable. If you have a green thumb and a passion for gardening and are also interested in going green while you do so, bamboo is the perfect alternative over wood, ceramic, and plastic planters.

Good Reasons To Choose A Bamboo Planter

There are several environmentally sound reasons to choose bamboo planters over other materials. Bamboo is a sustainable, renewable resource that grows quite rapidly. It is a very durable product that holds up well for many years and is naturally free of toxins and chemicals. When the usable life of a bamboo planter has come to an end, you can recycle it by tossing it into the compost pile because it is biodegradable.

While there are concerns about exhausting other natural resources such as wood and petroleum used in the production of plastics, there is no need to worry about using up bamboo resources. Bamboo is a self-sustaining plant with the additional environmental benefit of producing three times more oxygen than trees do. Bamboo planters also come in a variety of attractive designs and colors that will appeal to any gardener. Here we take a look at some popular bamboo planters for this season.
