The leading advantage to growing your plants in CowPots is the improved root health. Root penetration through the pot walls prevent your plant from becoming root bound and enhance air pruning. Growing a strong root system encourages a healthy plant. When it’s time to transplant, you put the entire pot, intact in the ground. No ripping or tearing so that there is minimal disturbance to the roots. CowPots are designed to break down in the ground in a single growing season, unlike competing biodegradable pots.

If you were wondering why COW pots? It’s because the cow gives us the raw material to form all of our pots. We use manure, the byproduct from the dairy cows on this farm. All of the manure to make CowPots is digested and composted. We also blend in recycled newspaper and cardboard which we source from our community as part of our commitment to sustainability. From the beginning, it has been our priority to make a sustainable alternative to plastic and peat pots that uses renewable and recycled ingredients.
