I don't like the coco pots once they get to me. I think it is good for the environment that they use them. But they don't work for me. They dry out in a second and I don't find that they break down. I immediately strip them off. I simply transfer to a pot I have recycled OR I plant out right away. So I think they are a good alternative for the environment, I just don't believe the hype they are all they are cracked up to be.
