I grow my veggies and herbs in containers but ro lack of a garden space, I have used Bonnie plants for quite sometime and to answer some of the issues I have read on this site,
1) when you remove part of the biodegradeable pot to expose some of the roots remember to spread some of the roots out so they can grow. If you leave the roots undisturbed and they are already growing as if almost root bound they will continue to grow that way and thsi will result is a low harvest or death to the plant. don’t be afraid to take a knofe and cut into the roots if they are very compacted before planting
2) Mold on the soil and/or slimmy pots this could be a sing of having too much water, allow the plants to dry out some or plant them and the soil should be fine. I hoipe this helps some of you.
Happy gardening and enjoy the taste of Fresh Veggies and Herbs, PS: if container gardening I love to mix Veggies with herbs, Like with my tomatoes I have basil growing with them, a cherry tomato with a fresh piece of baisl taste great.

I purchased 5 tomato plants in bonnie bio pots a couople of weeks ago and planted them the next day. Since then, they have failed to grow while a couple of plants from another distributor have done well. I dug them up to see what was going on, and it turns out that the bio pot has bound the roots up, preventing them from taking. I had torn the bottom out of the pot per the directions on the container, but this was not enough for my fledgling toms to get going. I have torn the whole bio pot off now, and hopefully the maters will take now. We’ll see.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone experienced mold growing from the fiber pots and the outside becoming slimy. How long can the pots be kept indoors and how often can you water the plants in the pots?

We have used bonnie plants in the past with great sucsess, but this year I bought the larger bonnie plants @3.48. They looked good whenI planted them, but one died and I took it back and got a refund, now two mre have died while the remaining three are O.K. but I no longer have the receipt to get a refund

I cannot find the bonnie pots on a web site. I need about 50-100 for my garden vegetables. I have searched wal mart and lowes with no luck. I understand they may use your pots for their own plants, but where do I buy the pots to plant my own seeds?

Hello Rose,
We don’t sell these. But I hope you find them at your local Lowes, Home Depot or WalMart. Good luck with the indoor veggie project!
