Cowpots last for months above ground but once transplanted into garden soil, the pots begin to degrade and enhance your garden soil.
Why use wasteful plastic pots or fiber pots when you can use CowPots?
The manure we use to make CowPots is a renewable resource, unlike peat mined from bog eco-systems or plastic made from fossil fuels. When deciding between CowPots vs. peat pots, our main ingredient, manure is 100% renewable and recycled because we use it first to capture methane which we burn as biogas to heat our farm buildings. Read more about the sustainable practices on our farm. In making CowPots, we extract green-energy from the manufacturing process, reducing our carbon footprint. By collecting and using manure to create a truly 'green' product, CowPots – and your use of them – help farmers preserve clean, open spaces.
CowPots give seedlings a better beginning. Tender, young roots easily penetrate the sides and bottoms of CowPots, growing freely. This allows for air pruning and formation of root buds. Secondary root development throughout the pot grow into dense, healthy root systems recognized as critical to growing healthy plants!
I've used peat pots, isn't this the same thing?
CowPots are an exciting alternative to peat. CowPots are peat-free. Their porous walls allow for better root penetration than peat, and they actually decompose in the same growing season.
Do I need to rip or tear the CowPot before planting in the ground?
No, ripping or tearing harms plant roots. Unlike other starter pots, CowPots eliminates transplant shock because the porous pot walls eliminate the need for tearing or ripping and allow for continued root growth after planting.
How can I tell if I'm properly watering my seedlings?
You can tell by color or touch. When pot walls are dark brown and moist to the touch, they do not need to be watered. When light brown and dry, it's time to water again.
