<p>A naturally decomposing seedling pot (2) having the properties of coconut shell powder, uses an artificial material suited for factory production, and has improved market value. Coconut shell powder is mixed into a biodegradable plastic made of carboxylic acid based compounds such as aliphatic acid or lactic acid. This mixture is molded into a pot body. The formed body can be made porous, non-porous or with a plurality of slits (8) or holes (6). The pot made from injection molding has a smoothly finished surface and a stable center of gravity, thus adding to the market value. The biodegradable plastic and the coconut shell powder have water-holding properties and decompose back into the soil. This leaves behind the seedling, which can grow healthily, while the decomposed seedling pot enriches the soil environment. <IMAGE></p> |
