Degradable pots making gardening more environmentally friendly

From Afternoons, 1:40 pm on 15 November 2022

For many of you who do a bit of gardening, you may have spotted that there's a lot of plastic waste- in particular those little plastic pots the plants come in.

Well, Alice Trevelyan  and Dave Sweny have transformed an old tennis court into a plant nursery with degradable pots.

They started the Native Dairy Farmer in Te Kawa and are now helping stop 10s of thousands of little plastic pots going to landfill.

Alice talks to Jesse about their initiative.
