No but we have similar things and most farmers are happy for you to collect your own "pots" they would be in a more round shape though

If they are sterilised and labelled, I don't see why they are not allowed to be imported in the country. :imo:
Just an opinion.

Always we hope someone else has the answer.

The same thing is available here only they are made from peat. Jiffy pots and jiffy plugs. There is an opening here in Aus for someone to use cow poo.
