Reducing plastic and saving time on the farm with the paper pot system

On Sweet Beet Farm we’re obsessed with the paper pot transplanter! It is such an incredible tool for a whole host of reasons. This Earth Month especially, we’re celebrating the paper pot transplanter as an essential small farm tool that reduces waste, saves time, and helps us grow lots of organic food with less impact on the land.

The paper pot transplanter is a tool that assists in the growing process from seed to planting. It is a low-impact, hand-powered system that allows us to start seeds and transplant them into the ground using less plastic and with far less time input. It’s really a win for all situation!

Learn more about how the paper pot transplanter has transformed our farming systems on Sweet Beet Farm in the following two part video series.

Part 2: Save time AND reduce plastic in your seeding process with the paper pot!

We hope you enjoy these short videos on what the paper pot is and how it’s transformed life on Sweet Beet Farm! We’re all about finding the tools that help us save time, reduce waste, and have as little impact on the Earth as possible while growing nutritious foods for our community.
