Field notes from The Fremont Solstice Parade:

✔️ Giant mythical beasts

✔️ Balloon wizards

✔️ A complete disregard for conventional attire

✔️ More naked cyclists than statistically necessary

✔️ Having the funkiest fun ever

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, said ahoy, and especially those who recognized us from the Seattle Times. It meant the world to us. 💚

Have you ever bought a plant that looked SOOO good as a baby only for it to look stunted when it reaches maturity?
That’s because it was grown in plastic. Which acts like a jail for root systems. No oxygen, & no space forces baby plants to rush to reproduction before they are ready. They look good above the soil at such a young age, but underneath they are incredibly stressed. These are not healthy plants, they are rushing to the biological finish line because they hate it here.

Who is the best companion plant? We think it’s marigolds. They bloom early & often, don’t need a lot of space and are a pollinator favorite. But what about a companion plant’s companion? That’s where a Kelp Pot comes in. A good companion supports the roots. They provide nutrients and get out of the way when they’ve been outgrown.

Are you still growing plants in plastic? What if we told you there was a better option for plants, people AND the planet?

(Part 1) Have you used a biodegradable container that didn’t break down? Ultimately stunting the growth of your plant at the end of the season? We have too, and that’s why we created Kelp Pots. The roots grow through the walls even before the pot breaks down. This allows for light air pruning and a more robust roots system. And we know that more roots = more fruits = more shoots.

Succulents are a cheat code for free plants. But sometimes they need a lil grooming to look their best.

Throwback to some of our earliest experiments with kelp pots. Look at how many more tomatoes you can grow when you don’t use plastic!

So freakin’ excited to see our budding company included in this recent article alongside startups rethinking everything from construction waste to energy systems to circular manufacturing.

We’re all approaching different problems, but there’s a shared spirit underneath it 👉 belief that “how it’s always been done” isn’t good enough anymore.

In our case, that just happens to involve seaweed and questioning why plants grow in plastic. 🌊

Big thanks to GeekWire, Lisa Stiffler, and the CoMotion team for supporting scrappy ideas with big ambitions.

Are you starting your garden from seed this year? But you’re sick and tired of the plastic piles of waste that comes along with gardening?

We are too! That’s why we’re breaking up with plastic and using Kelp Pots instead. They make growing plants from seed super easy, plus you get heartier plants without the plastic. WINNING!
