Use Packing Peanuts for Pot Filler<\/h3>\n

Now is the time of year Jackson Pack N Ship rescues many gardeners from lifting heavy flower pots. Our packing peanuts grace the inside of pots of many beautiful flowers in town.  Disposal worries? Here\u2019s the solution: put packing peanuts in a plastic grocery bag and seal it with tape into a small ball. Place it in the bottom of the flower pot and add soil to the top. Reuse the bag every year.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what some experienced gardeners had so say about how to use packing peanuts as pot filler:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Packing Peanuts from Jackson Pack N Ship!<\/p><\/div>\n

“You can get two kinds of packing peanuts – Styrofoam ones work in your pots, but the biodegradable corn starch peanuts might not hold up too well. Jackson Pack N Ship has the Styrofoam kind.”
By Corrinne<\/p>\n

“The pots aren’t as heavy and you save money by not having to buy as much compost. Hope this helps.”
By Bess<\/p>\n

“Don’t forget to cover the hole in the bottom with, say, a coffee filter then your packing stuff then your potting soil. Water then add more soil. That should do it.”
By Glenda<\/p>\n

“Then, I add the styrofoam one third to half way and fill the rest with potting soil. Not only is it a filler, it weighs nothing”
