ABSTRACT:
A method of potting plants to optimize the environmental growth conditions thereof, and a combination that results from the practice of the method. A plurality of loose fibers comprising the fiber fraction from the break up of used tires which fiber fraction is normally a disposal problem is placed in the interior of a pot adjacent to the bottom thereof. Soil and the roots of the plant being potted are disposed over the loose fibers and a combination results including the pot, loose fibers, soil and plant. The loose fibers from the break up of used tires prevents the loss of soil through drainage holes in the bottom of the pot while providing for proper drainage, provide micronutrients and otherwise provide optimum growth conditions for the potted plant. Thus, worthwhile use is made of an otherwise worthless product.
