Reuse ploystrene in 4 easy steps.

Ploystrene packaging comes with many new goods purchased. What begins as a way of protecting your new goods in transit then becomes an environmentally friendly disposal problem. So don't. instead reuse it in another way.

A clever way is to
  • Brake it down into small hunks.
  • Place these hunks intothe bottom of pots. 
  • Fill the window boxes or pots with potting mix.
  • Add plants as normal.
The polystrene is light weigt.  Lartge pots filled with damp potting mix do become heavy. Inhuries are more likely to occur when moving these containers. By adding the polystrene you are lightening the 'load' while reducing the amount of potting mix.  Hence also a cost cutter.
