I know they work, but I simply won't buy them while they are made from plastic 2-3x flimsier AND more brittle than the tray that comes free with my sausages (ironically, it's a tray I don't need and actually don't want).It's ethically appalling and indefensible to make something out of such absolute crap to the point where you're almost afraid to touch it.This is entirely separate from any green issues - I object because it's total abuse of the underlying spirit of patent and copyright - working against efficient home production of food - a cause which is morally entirely without blemish.I simply refuse to support their approach. I'd rather put some effort into making my own containers that are just as good - it's actually less effort than treating rootrainers that carefully.It's not the huge profit that really bothers me - I'd be quite happy to pay 10-20% more for a version that was two or three times as thick. They would still cost nothing to make - so their profit would be even bigger if they did that.The fact that all you guys are making them last despite their best efforts to screw you proves they would actually make more profit from a decent product...Cheers.
All very true.You should email it to them.They need to wake up and make a better product, because it is a great idea which produces great results.
I got mine second hand from eBay last year, got a bulk purchase of 12 sets , and they sent me a load of spare cells too. They looked barely used (I'm guessing from an ex commercial enterpise) so I can recommend them.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-x-Rootrainers-Deep-used-Root-trainers-2nd-grade-/140395625600?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Home_Garden_Garden_Plants_Pots_Window_Boxes_CV&hash=item20b03b3c80
