Plants thrive in these award-winning biodegradable transplant pots. Cowpots™ are the patent-pending invention of Matt and Ben Freund, two Connecticut dairy farmers who were looking for an environmentally responsible way to dispose of cow manure. The manure is dried, completely composted, mixed with natural fibers, and pressed into pots. Gardeners love Cowpots because they are odorless and free of weed seeds. Plants love Cowpots too, because transplant shock is greatly reduced. Best of all, Cowpots are 100% biodegradable. They last for months in the greenhouse or windowsill, but will dissolve within weeks after planting in the garden, providing essential organic nutrients. We are very excited about Cowpots, and recommend them to any gardener who wants to increase plant health and reduce waste.

I'm sure they are nice BUT there are many more reusable ones at a much more resonable price

Comments about Biodegradable Cowpots™:
I used these pots for seed starting. They began to break down before the plants were ready to go outdoors. A lot of good effort and growing time was wasted. Also, for the first time, I had a problem with fruit flies around the pots. I loved the innovative idea behind this product, but it wasn't worth the hassle!

Comments about Biodegradable Cowpots™:
If you have soil with a lot of clay, remove the pots before planting. My pots were in the ground for 2 months and since my plants weren't really growing well, I checked under the dirt and the pots were only partially degraded.
However, I love them for planting seedlings.

Comments about Biodegradable Cowpots™:
I bought a bunch of these two years ago and used them for seeding, rather than the little plastic 6-packs. I found I these were sturdy and large enough that I could skip the transplant I had to do with the 6-packs. The cow-pots could go straight in the ground and the seedlings have always done well. I've been using them ever since.

Comments about Biodegradable Cowpots™:
Just the right size for transferring seedlings that have outgrown their APS cells. They're biodegradable and because they are separate units (unlike APS cells), they're great for giving plants away to others. When the degrade, they provide nutrients. Just right.

Comments about Biodegradable Cowpots™:
I'm using the cowpots to transplant my tomatoes from the APS system. The plants are healthy and thriving. I can't wait to plant them outside. I will definitely order more.
