@Ellebelles1 Hi @ellebelles1 we are in discussions with all retailers we supply on packaging options going forward so hopefully thee will a transition to eco in due course

@ohanlonherbs I noticed another brand of potted herbs ‘Grá’ beside yours, is that yourselves also ? No compostable plastic on them though

Very happy to support an Irish company ⁦@ohanlonherbs⁩ no plastic pot and compostable plastic. Well done 👏🏻

@ElaineMcgoff @Ellebelles1 Hi @ElaineMcgoff yes this is an important conversation. There's no immediate viable replacement just yet but there is pressure to find eco friendly sustainable alternatives

@Ellebelles1 @ohanlonherbs Any chance it's peat free too?

@ElaineMcgoff @Ellebelles1 Hi @ElaineMcgoff thanks for the feedback. Yes this is an important conversation, there's no immediate solution for commercial growers like us but the pressure is on to find sustainable eco alternatives

@Dailigh Thanks @Dailigh for the supporting Irish growers and posting the pictures. Yes the packaging is certified home compostable so at least when your finished with the herb you can rest assured the packaging doesn't last forever!

@ParkerSiobhan Hi @ParkerSiobhan thanks so much for the feedback. Yes we are trying to do our bit and take any unnecessary packaging out where possible or at least make it recyclable or compostable. We appreciate that for consumers that are trying to do their best and suppliers need to try too!

@ohanlonherbs Your herbs are superb! Healthiest I've ever bought. Love the eco-friendly packaging and recycled pots. Wish everyone would follow suit. Time to tackle the plastic garden labels mountain next...any thoughts?

@Caccabus @Ellebelles1 Thanks Johann @Caccabus , yes basil is a member of the mint family and like mint easily roots in a glass of water from a stem off shoot or cutting

@Ellebelles1 @ohanlonherbs Basil will root in a glass of water, endless plants.

Bought a basil plant a couple of weeks ago, Irish grown from ⁦@ohanlonherbs⁩ I split in two and it’s thriving now 😊

@Ellebelles1 Great job @Ellebelles1 and tip, basil is easily divided and the roots get going real quick this time of year! Thanks for posting

You can’t get more local! Just arrived @BallyknockenHCS from my neighbours @ohanlonherbs for filming tomorrow. 😋
