Cow Pots Make the news!
We already carry Cow Pots, but this year we've added Six Packs!
They are – 9-1/4" Long x 6" Wide x 3" Tall
No scrimping here!
CowPots
An exciting high-performing alternative to plastic and peat pots. Cow Pots™, manure-fiber based seed starter pots, are made by American farmers for plant lovers everywhere. These earth-friendly “pots you plant” are made with biodegradable, 100% renewable composted cow manure.

The Cow Pot manufacturing process removes all weeds, pathogens and odor. All that’s left is the natural fiber and goodness of manure: the perfectly plan table pot!

Cow Pots give seedlings a better beginning. Tender, young roots easily penetrate the sides and bottoms of Cow Pots, growing freely... Healthier roots mean lifelong stronger plants.

Cow Pots stay intact for up to 12 weeks – plenty of time to give seedlings a good, strong start. Planted Cow Pots break down fast in the ground. Composted manure naturally biodegrades quickly, so at 3 to 4 weeks, decomposition is well underway.

Cow Pots give back to the planet! Besides enriching your garden soil with the goodness of manure, Cow Pots are earth-friendly in even BIGGER ways...By collecting and using manure to create a truly “green” product, Cow pots help farmers preserve clean, open spaces.

Not only that, the ingenious dairy-farmers who invented Cow Pots also extract green-energy from the manufacturing process, using it to reduce their own farm’s carbon footprint. The manure in Cowpots is a renewable resource, unlike peat which is mined from bog eco-systems or plastic which is derived from finite fossil sources.
Tips and hints that will help you grow better plants.
Keep Cow Pots dry until seeding.
Do not over water, manure naturally retains water.
The manure in each Cow Pot adds some nutrients, but for optimum growth, fertilize as you would with any plant.
Cow Pots are "The Pots you Plant", so do not remove plant from pot when it's time to transplant.
Upon transplanting the Cow Pot in the ground, do not break or crush the pot. One of the best attributes of Cow Pots is that they break down in the soil and attract Earth Worms.
General Gardening Tips
  Be sure to use new, fresh seeds. Check the expiration date on seed packs.
  Follow specific instructions on seed packs for your climate zone.
  Use a good potting soil / fertilizer mix.
  Provide plenty of light and warmth to encourage seedling growth.
How to use Cow Pots
1. Fill Cow Pots with soil mix and plant seeds according to directions on seed packet. Place Cow pots in a tray or liner to collect any draining water.
2. Water and fertilize according to directions on seed packet. Cow Pots naturally retain moisture, so be careful not to over water.
3. When seedlings are ready for planting, place entire Cow Pot directly into the soil, then water – no transplanting needed! Do not crush, rip, or tear pot when planting. Cow Pots will not inhibit root growth as other pots do.
4. Composted manure naturally biodegrades quickly.So in just a few weeks, Cow Pot decomposition is well underway, allowing for unrestricted root growth and strong, healthy plants!
