Say Goodbye to Plastic
With our natural rubber seed trays
The RootCoach is designed to coach your roots to grow long and deep; the perfect start for plants that are sensitive to root disturbance, require deep root beds, and are prone to transplant shock.
The RootCoach encourages strong, vigorous root formation, with roots that grow straight down, avoiding root bound plants. Ideal for deep-rooted vegetables and fruits (like pumpkins, squash, cucumbers, watermelon, cantaloupe), propagating cuttings, and all perennial herbs and flowers.
Made from Fairly Traded FSC certified natural rubber, this robust, interlocking RootCoachTM is designed for repeated use. Unlike cheap plastic equivalents, it will not crack or break after one or two uses. Gardeners will appreciate being able to remove long-rooted seedlings easily: Once ready for planting out, the RootCoachTM opens up completely.
No frame is required, the RootCoachTM is stable enough to stand on its own. Sold in twin packs of four cells each for even greater stability, additional units can be connected together. The outer dimensions of the twin pack 2x4 Module is 8" long x 3-1/4" wide x 4-3/4 tall.
Note: The RootCoachTM is black to ensure that they last as long as possible. The natural rubber is sourced from a small rubber plantation in Sri Lanka. The workers receive a Fair Trade premium to help improve their working and living conditions.
