The other benefit to augers is the appeal it has to non-gardeners, such as my husband and my father-in-law. They saw me putting the auger on the drill and were like "what's that?" And then the two of them proceeded to follow me around the yard and take turns using the auger, discussing it as though I wasn't even there. It was awesome. I just pointed to spots and one of them would auger the hole, taking turns and talking about optimum angle and pressure, etc. I got 15 plants put in in less than 1/2 the time. It was also fun to have them there to chat with, and they became much more aware and interested in what plants I was putting where, and why. Augers - they're not just for planting. :)
And they aren't just for girls. 😉
Hahaha! I laughed so hard at your story, I had to share it with my hubby. He got a kick out of it, too! Thanks for that! 🤣
These new pots seem easier to use and better for the environment so it's a win win. I'll definitely be buying more plants from them now. I'm still waiting for them to name a flower after you because I'll buy 10
This is very exciting... very impressed with proven winners to take this initiative.. the world needs more of such initiatives.. brilliant start to the year 👏 👍:)
sounds very suspicious to me, it seems like they made so called "bio degradable plastic" by another name. and there's no such thing as biodegradable plastic, as to justify that name, there needs to be a microorganism, bacterium or fungi that eats that sort of plastic.. no microorganism on the planet, eats plastics as of now. and if any microorganism can develop such skill, it would be fungi, just not yet. so what actually happens with so-called biodegradable plastic, is that it physically degrades into what is known as microplastics, and then stays in the ground and water forever, entering our systems as well. the industry has ton of products that they call "not plastics" that are just some different kinds of polymers to polymers we commonly know as plastics, but they have the same problems, no living thing eats those artificial polymers. and she did say this was some polymer based of corn, so, plastic by another name
@@mimosveta No hate, but its not always that all polymers are non biodegradable, cotton to is a polymer but it is biodegradable, right!
@@mimosveta I read this on their faq page 'The Proven Winners Seed-Starter Eco-Pots are a compostable garden pot, made out of PLA (polylactic acid). PLA is made from starchy renewable plants like corn, switch grass, and sugar beets' From what they say it seems to be made of organic matierials.. Of course im no scientist so idk how much better it actually is for the environment
@mimosveta Ty for informing us! Theres so much manipulation of the publuc's good intentions. I'll just stick to cow pots for now.
@@mimosveta Good analysis!!
I never toss them. Always bring them back to garden centres in our area.
That’s a good idea. We use and reuse so many, our garden centers are always willing to give me some of the recycled ones and I give them mine when finished. It’s a good system. 😊
This is SO important!
Most garden centers I’ve checked with so far in my area say they mostly recycle (which is a broken system) instead of re-use or give to nurseries to re-use. They’ll only accept certain colors (black) sometimes to re-use. Some get re-used, but not all. One garden center said their nurseries won’t disinfect because it’s cheaper to buy new. It’s a big problem! Our world has too much plastic that ends up in oceans. Why not just disinfect them rather than buy new. I’m still calling other nurseries and garden centers to find out about their policies so I can support and encourage more re-using of pots.
I re-use all of them. So, whenever I have smaller plants, I use the plastic containers from previous nursery visits and then if they are too small, I use them as seed starting pots and I grow everything from seeds but not in bulk because of lack of space, so I know I can use 1 or 2 plastic containers for herb seeds or cherry tomatoes etc etc
@@libertyjayne Very interesting. Thanks for that info.
Wow!!! PW for the win!!! This is a huge step in the right direction. I am so excited for this. 😍 I’m so happy you showed us these Laura.
It will be interesting to see how fast they break down. I usually tear off the peat pots just because I feel like the roots don't need anything to fight thorough, although they supposedly can get through . . . Then I save those and use them for pieces over drainage holes in clay pots.
Laura.. my husband says to tell you that Red milwaukee drills are the best drills to get. Longer lasting battery life and the have more power. Also those pots are a awesome idea by proven winners. Now that's what I call handy and just a fantastic way to minimize all that work when transplanting.
Wow so glad to see that they are getting away from all the plastic and these will make planting even easier! Win! Win!👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing the positive turn towards non plastic containers.
Anything to make planting easier I am all for. Watching this video I am saying out loud, oh I need that, and that, and oh that too. My husband said "are you watching Laura unbox gardening items again?" Yes! Hubby..when she she going to have her baby and save me money.
Love the idea of bio degradable containers
Thank you for the drill/auger tutorial. It really helps!
This reminded me to check on my seeds. 3 of the 4 trays have sprouted! 🎉
Thank you for showing the pots & explaining how they work! It’s so nice that PW has found a way to create such a nice, environmentally friendly product
I have been on a huge reducing my plastic waste kick. I am so happy to see those pots
Wow! Super Pots! Who knew!
Love that Proven Winners is moving in this direction. I love their plants and this makes me love them more. Thank you for sharing with us.
Game changer right there in those two boxes! Add those eco-pots to your winter sowing and your plants that don’t like to be disturbed will be happy. Those augers will be on my garden bucket list too.
👍👍Proven Winners👍👍 Saving our planet! Thanks!
Okay.... if there were ever one thing to get me to convert 100% to proven winner loyalty, it’s THIS. I am ELATED to see such a large company going non plastic, I can’t even explain how happy that makes me. Thank you so much PW for setting this trend needs the industry. It’s SO so so necessary.
💚💚💚 Awesome content 💚💚💚
I'm also a bit skeptical that those will break down. I mean here in the Midwest were not super wet climate but not dry either but, those other peat degradable pots don't really break down here either I mean they do enough for the plants to grow put I've found they still do restrict root growth, compared to taking them off the plant. (I've pulled plants out at the end of the season and the pot is still mostly intact)
Laura’s got her fancy holiday finger nails on 💅. Lookin good! I tried, but not matter how hard I tried, couldn’t keep them nice lol. I’m so excited about these seed packets and compostable
Pots!!! Yay Mother Earth!
Using augers was a game changer. I planted a lot more bulbs last year and this year than I have before because the auger really helped make it much easier. Just a side note on Proven Winners. Last year I planted one 4 inch pot in each of my 16 inch planters of bubblegum vista and it filled out beautifully. At the end of summer I cut it back because I let it dry out in our hot summer and it came back and looks beautiful. Even with some light freezes. Love it.
Your knowledge and willingness to share it has made such a difference in my gardening! I actually have good looking beds now! Wow!
Laura, nothing stops you when it comes to gardening. I'd want to be lying down all day if I were that close to due day. Hats off to you young lady. You live our dreams.
Way to go PW I like to see them think outside the box with cool stuff.
I'm SO EXCITED to hear that PW is working towards plastic-free! Thanks for another great video Laura!
I would love a new pair of felcos! My daughter and I share 9 city lots full of garden at our home. We also work on the city gardens. Your show is our absolute favorite and inspires us so much! We tell everyone to go to your channel. Aaron and you are real!
Way to go PW!! Always conscious of trying to get away from plastic!! 👏🏻👏🏻 thanks Laura 🤗
So so so happy to hear that Proven Winners is moving away from plastic!! Respect for them has dramatically increased!!!
Laura I have planted a ton of daffodils, 🌷 tulips, alliums this year 😊 Thanks to you showing us how to use the auger drilling! It makes it soooo much easier. I even went over to my in-laws house and planted some for grandma Carolyn. It's so fun to share 🙂. Again thank you
Wahooooo!! Proven Winners leading the way toward reduction of plastic waste!!!
Great idea PW. The abundance of plastic gardeners use is a lot. Our local garden center takee the containers back so I'm lucky.
Yes, the flower pillows are available for preorder. I'm so excited. 🌻💗🌻💗
I always return my pots! Garden center really appreciates it
I'm on holiday , its summer in NZ, I will have so many GA vids to watch when I get back home and back to normal life 🤗🤗🌳🌾🌷
I just placed my seed order with Proven Winners! I’ve never tried their plants but you have me sold on the tomatoes and strawberries! Now I need an ice cream maker for the homemade strawberry ice cream you had me drooling over this summer 😁 Thank you Laura for giving me back my passion for gardening again. I too am making plans for spring projects in my garden 🪴
Hi Laura you got some good things today. I especially like the pots. I don't use drills as l have weak arms so l have to put holes in myself. It's a shame l can't. As they look so useful. Love watching you get new things for the garden. Love the pots it will be so much better when l can get some.
I love those new pots, I hope proven winners ships to Canada soon.
Thinking of you, Aaron and Benjamin as you wait patiently in baby girl to arrive 🥰
I’m glad you mentioned you can hurt yourself👍🏼I sprained my wrist this past Fall😖planting my 🌷bulbs using my auger. It spun me around & I hit my head on the🌳tree. My hubby thought it was hilarious...until he became my auger boy😜
This is so interesting, and timely. I will look forward to this whole process through the spring planting season. Don't forget to check how well they break down in the fall. OOOOOh flower pillows!
I’m excited to see pots like this on plants in places like home depot and lowes!
First PW unboxing, so fun 🙂
🤦♀️
Good for PW...setting the bar ... looking forward to using these containers...
Ingenious!..i bet this will triple their sales..love to see it put in ground to see how long it takes to break down.
We should apply caution. Other comments are calling it plastic by another name and that it breaks down into microplastics that no organism can consume. Idk. We need more info from a third source. As an influencer, Laura is their unofficial marketer/ salesperson.
@@kareharpies Starch-Based, Biodegradable Polymers
Starch, a major component of corn, is a linear poly-saccaride made up of repeating glucose groups with glyco-sidic linkages in the 1-4 carbon positions with chain lengths of 500 to 2,000 glucose units. There are two major polymer molecules in starch-amylose and amylopectin.
👍 nice I want to start planting too , so fun 🤩
I hope you baby come healthy and you can be healthy too 🌷💚
Good heavens Laura, I have just been watching the Highlights channel, you are busy xx
PS fascinating pots, looking forward to updates
What a great idea!!! Love the idea of biodegradeable pots with composts built right in-genius!
Can't wait to see how they do.
I never throw out my pots, always reuse them whether in seed starting or digging out and moving plants in my flower beds, they come in handy.
So happy to see the recyclable..fertilizer pots from Proven Winners.
This is a step in the right direction. I really hope they will offer seeds for annuals in the future to cut down on all the plastic waste. I know they want to support their growers, but for those who are more eco-conscious and want to reduce plastic use while still growing pretty annuals, it would be so great to have a seed option.
I'm so happy to see you highlighting the plastic waste issue! This is an important message. We all need to be conscious of what we consume and how it is disposed!
Those eco-pots are awesome! I hope they start replacing their larger containers with those and that others follow in their footsteps.
I like the small ones but I reuse the big ones.
My local garden center recycles garden containers and I really appreciate that!
It's so funny to see the delight on your face when you get a new item (tool).
I am so excited to hear they are getting away from plastic pots!
I think I put out two hundred plastic pots at my curb a couple of months ago (I'm pretty sure someone took them). I'm so glad to see things changing.
Attention Laura!!!😄 I saw a video today that might be in the future for Garden Answer....and I thought you might appreciate it. A Christmas tour at Longwood Gardens by Northlawn Flower Farm. I can definitely see a Hartley Botanic greenhouse with an imitation of this on your property in a couple years.😃 Anyway the video is a wonderful reprieve for this gardening deprived soul! Thank you for all the effort you put into your channel for our benefit.
I just recently heard that every piece of plastic ever made (i.e. that you have used in your entire lifelime), with few exceptions, are still around. I have been seriously thinking about all that plastic lately. I'm so glad companies and people are finally taking the steps we need to be less dependent on plastic. Wonderful video

Amazing idea, PW, you are moving the industry forward! Love your videos Laura!! 🌱💐🌸🌺🥀🌻🌷
I'm so excited to hear you talk about the amount of plastic and waste that is created with gardening supplies. I love your channel, I adore gardening, but the waste is killing me. I'm very much looking forward to see how these work out! Than you all!
Good news! I’d probably still reuse these though 😅 unless they were literally disintegrating already, which I doubt they would be. Thankfully we have a local garden center that accepts and reuses plastic pots. Everyone should check their local shops! We try to reuse everything if possible, it hurts my heart otherwise and makes it hard to focus on beautifying my little patch of earth 💚🌱 Also, some grocery stores have an outside bin to collect various types of plastic bags and packaging materials that is then supposedly turned into composite decking. I always have bags of plastic hanging around ready for my next shopping trip 👍 (bulb bags go here)
That was a spectacular video, thanks for the tip on the power tool and auger because I did injure myself once, I really appreciate you also showing step by step the settings that work best. I also love PW products and am very excited to try these new biodegradable pots, I always have a lot of annuals to plant each year and there is one garden center in my area that takes them back and that makes me feel better about the environment. Your new studio is so nice thanks for the reminder that you also have nasty weather to deal with but you still make it work. Gives me goals for these next few months. Can't wait to see your new bundle of joy!! I had my daughter cesarean and she was"perfect" I still call her "pretty as a peach" and "peacefully beautiful".
Love All your videos, Never miss One. Hope Baby Girl arrives soon. Love & Hugs from Yuma AZ. 🥰❤❤❤
You guys are very Lucky to have proven winners... here is just a few places you can find them and also a small variatie .😊🇳🇱
This is so exciting. Can not wait to try these pots. I also would love to try their augers. They look more sturdy then my current one
I try to reuse the pots as much as possible. Thanks for the heads up on the Flower Pillow pre-order. Placed my order & loved that there's no shipping charge on the pre-order! Win!
Very nice tools and plants, thanks for posting.
I reference your recommendations about plants so much, the woman at the garden center calls me the lady who loves Garden Answer. She now points out plants to me that you’ve recommended. Thank you and Aaron for all you do!
Super excited about this new product. Also, not sure how I'm going to start my mornings when baby comes. Your videos are such a positive, enjoyable way to ease into the day with my morning coffee 💚
I’m so excited to garden this coming spring! The felcos look lovely.
Love watching your family! You are so knowledgeable!
I have all three of those augers! A couple Santa brought! I love them & it makes planting so much easier! Anxious to see how those seed pots do, I do like the idea of the biodegradable feature but I do safe some of the plastic pots for reuse from Proven Winners! Love the new & improved workspace/studio!! 😃🌿🍅📹🎬
I am so excited to try these pots...Am hoping they come out with larger ones As I plant annuals and semi-annuals much more and these would be great for that purpose...Love the Augers...can’t wait to try them as well...Thank You Proven Winners for considering our children and grandchildren’s future gardening landscape. I feel we use way too much plastic as it is...with just all the Water and soda bottles, just Americans use is crazy. Thanks for all ya’ll do Laura & Aaron...
God Bless.
Hi Laura and Aaron! I'm very excited to see how the biodegradable pots work out. I always peel off the peat pots when I transplant because they tend to still be in the soil when I pull the plants at the end of the season. If they work as they should, I will definitely look into them for next year. Those augers are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!
I would love the anniversary Felcos! I just planted my first seeds for 2021! Can't wait for baby girl's arrival!!! Loved the video of you enjoying the day with your Mom and sister!
Loving the set up in the new studio! Well done!
Wow youre putting out videos almost 2x a day i guess.
Greetings from Manila, Philippines. Im very thankful that your videos have accompanied me during our (still ongoing) lockdown. Ive learned a lot.
Wishing you a safe delivery. Regards to the whole family! 🥰😁
I love these pots! I always have problem with way too many plastic pots and haven't found any place that recycles them. Nice!
Oh my goodness I just checked Proven Winners and they ship those seed starting ECO pots to Canada!!! So exciting!!! Thanks so much for introducing this new and innovative way of starting seeds :)
I had the same problem in Phoenix AZ with the peat pots not breaking down. I started taking off the bottom of the pot so the plant could still send down roots.
Go on PW!!!
I wish we could get these here as I try so hard to avoid plastic but it's just everywhere!
Not only that the fact it feeds your plants to is amazing
This was the first season I looked specifically for PW annuals that you recommended and I have to say I’ve never had annuals last so long into the fall! The company has always been generous donating plants to our Master Gardener conferences in Michigan. And they are great responding to questions on their Facebook page and website. You and PW make a great team 😊
Proven winners has a win on these small pots.
So happy to hear this. I try to use, reuse and repurpose my pots to keep them out of landfills. This is a game changer.
Those pots will be awesome for planting, GREAT IDEA 💡 😀
THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT WITH US. I wish I could find an auger that would go through my very rocky riverbed dirt!!!! So close to baby girl arriving, how are you feeling Laura? Also how is Aaron and Benjamin doing? I know we're all so excited for you guys. Take care and God bless you.
Thank you Laura and Aaron, I love my Felco's and sent my brother a pair for his birthday and he is very happy with them. I haven't tried planting seeds yet but you have "planted that seed thought for me and for many of your viewers". Thank you!
The sound out there is great. I don't see any need for adding anything else to fix it. Looks great too!
Very interesting idea about the pots. I hope that our garden center will carry them so I can check it out. BTW: I don't usually toss out the pots, but use them to starting seeds. I have 3 trays of white PW tall small pots and they are so sturdy that I probably had 5-6 rounds of seedlings in them.
WOW! game changer!! i love this, and thank you Proven Winners for this!! it will be interesting to see how this affects the industry towards changing over to a more environmentally friendly method of raising plants it is hard to get rid of those plastic pots - i save quite a few for various reasons, but mostly, yup, into the garbage they go, sigh... some of the nurseries here used to take them back but they've stopped - i heard it's because they have no way to sterilize the pots - too labor intensive, etc... i'll keep an eye out for these though... and those flower pillows from PW??? granted, i live in a very warm climate here in southern California, but i have a pillow pack in a hanging basket that's going on year number THREE yup... it winters over beautifully, i cut it way back, and just feed it and water it and here we go, it's third year!!! (i also add more soil, etc)... so easy to plant and just a beautiful hanging basket... so look at you two... all cozy and warm in your fabulous studio while the weather outside is "yucky" i love it!! thanks for the video!!
Those pots are wonderful, and I love it that you are in your new studio!
I saw the seeds on the website yesterday. I hope you make more videos on the whole seed process and updates on these. Last year was my first year growing cucumbers and this year I’m starting to plant more food this year. I am a little nervous lol but we’re most excited on the strawberries. I ordered the strawberry seeds, pillow and one plant.
I love your personal Garden and we are modeling our future garden after yours!! our house is still in construction! You should teach weekend workshops for those who want to create a garden space like yours! I would sign up !
So looks like I am getting ready to do another seed order from Proven Winners, LOL. My husband was watching with me, and he would like the beans, basil and yellow tomatoes. (He is building another planter I guess). Thanks for showcasing all the great new stuff!
Very interesting. I’m glad they’re looking at the plastic waste
That is so exciting,so much to see this year,with the baby & so much more🥰God Bless You
Wow, interesting new growing pots and love those drilling bits🍀🍀
I would have liked to seen how you take the tabs off, how long it takes for the "pot" to break down. A lot of fun things coming this year with PW, I so wish we could get more in my area. I did read some of the comments and so many people are NEGATIVE NANCY. You have to start somewhere to make change. Thanks for sharing!
I was wondering why some of the little peat pots I've bought don't break down like they're supposed to ... Living in a dry climate, now that makes sense! It will be interesting to see if these new ones will break down in Laura's dry climate. Great info, thank you 💚
Those are interesting pots. I do find that many of these products made to decompose over a season don’t do that here either. We have a short, dry season on the Canadian prairies (less than 7 inches of precipitation -snow and rain- through all of 2020 in my area)
Oh that is such a fantastic idea and undertaking from Proven Winners. In Australia I only see their pots occasionally but more and more (and every time I smile and think of you guys) but feel comfortable in knowing they are quality stock!
I be eagerly looking for these new environmental enhancer grow pots. Thanks for sharing... & can’t wait to justify buying an auger 😜
I thought proven winners products weren’t available in Australia. Good to know they might be.
I see their plants at Bunnings and some other nurseries. They are definitely here.
