Biodegradable Cowpots™
Biodegradable, Eco-Friendly Cowpots™ for Transplants
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.
- Completely biodegradable pots transplant directly into garden
- Add nutrients to the soil as they degrade
- Roots grow through and take natural fertilizer with them
- Eliminates transplant shock

I'm using these to start my seeds indoors while it's still snowing outside. I'm looking forward to being able to plant the pot which will also fertilize the plant once it's in the ground and begins to decompose - certainly good for the ecology.

Comments about Biodegradable Cowpots™:
I thought they would be bigger so that the root system, and stalk could develop longer before having to transplant. The next day after I had ordered I saw the tv show "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe, they did a story on the invention of the pots as a way to use a natural by-product of the dairy industry that makes a lot of sense to me and is sure to be a big seller. Congratulations on the national media attention.
Pros

- Drains Well

Best Uses

- Plant Transferal
Comments about Biodegradable Cowpots™:
I like the idea of using this material instead of it being left to lay around a farm. The pots held up well to the time of tranplanting into our garden. A few fell apart when we tried to move them after they got soaked. It has really nice not having to take plants out of pots. Now we have the added nutrients through the pots.
