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.

Real reviews, real customers

These are absolutely incredible. My first year I bought a dozen of the 4 inch square pots. The next year I bought 144. These are perfection. They’re fantastic seedling pots that essentially guarantee my veggies don’t have transplant shock. The pots breakdown beautifully feeding the plants the whole time and plants have never had any issues growing right through the pots. I will buy these until they stop selling them at which point I will weep

We run a large ‘production’ garden in Oregon that, with all volunteer help, grows food we share free-of-charge with local food pantries and a soup kitchen. We also distribute 100’s of ‘starts’ through the food pantries and local, school garden programs. (Sharing Gardens 🙂 Giving away 100’s of pots of plants per year can create quite a big environmental footprint as often people just throw away their plastic pots after transplanting. Even if they bring the pots back to us, cleaning and sorting them for re-use takes a lot of time. Since discovering CowPots, we’ve been able to increase the number of ‘starts’ we give away and we feel great that our project is reducing the amount of plastic-waste that we’re contributing to the environment. We also love that they’re so easy to plant that even the grade school students we’ve shared them with can successfully transplant them. An excellent product!

Love these for starting winter squash, which is touchy about transplanting. My squash is happy!
