‘Mix-and-match’ Pots Naturally

Pots Naturally™, a range of long-life, 100% biodegradable pots and saucers, is the latest organic solution from plant protection specialist, Haxnicks. Their fun and bright colours will look good in the greenhouse and around the home.

Made only from compressed natural bamboo pulp, the high-quality pots and saucers are designed to last two or three years and are available in four sizes: 3 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch and 6 inch diameters, in four ‘mix-and-match’ colours: bamboo, aqua, red earth and olive.

They are used in exactly the same way as plastic pots, but are easily disposed of at the end of their life by simply tossing on the compost heap. They should break down in active compost within 6 months.

Pots Naturally™ offer great value for money when compared with the plastic alternatives: they are competitively priced, extremely sturdy and come in a stylish range of colours. Prices range from 99p for a pack of five 3 inch saucers to £4.99 for a pack of five 6 inch pots.

The new Haxnicks Pots Naturally™ range is available from B&Q (in olive only) and from garden centres from February 2009.

The Amazing SpeedHoe™

The amazing SpeedHoe™, the latest innovation from plant protection specialists, Haxnicks, is the gardener’s new best friend in the fight against weeds. It has a unique multi-blade design and angled head that produces a powerful cutting and chopping action with the minimum of effort.

The SpeedHoe’s angled head has sharp blades on the front, rear and sides, creating a powerful, strong cutting action beneath the earth’s surface in whichever direction it is pushed away or pulled back. There’s no need to turn the blade when using it and the compact head makes it efficient and easy to manoeuvre between plants of all sizes, keeping them safe from accidental damage.

The SpeedHoe’s long handle gives a much greater reach and is positioned at an angle ergonomically designed for maximum working comfort, reducing the need for bending and thus minimizing potential aches and strains. Large areas of weed or heavy, lumpy soil can be worked over quickly and with little effort, helping create the best possible growing conditions for plants in beds and borders.

Haxnicks SpeedHoe™ (RRP £24.99) is available from all good garden centres from February 2009. For stockists or more information, call Haxnicks on 0845 241 1555 or click here.
