Change Starts with a Single Pot
A BETTER Biodegradable Pot.
CowPots are 100% BIODEGRADABLE, a great alternative to plastic pots, RENEWABLE and RECYCLED!
Why are CowPots a better biodegradable pot?
100% Biodegradable
CowPots are designed to break down in a single growing season. There are a lot of benefits to adding composted cow manure to your garden, including the fact that it attracts worms and microorganisms that deliver nutrients to your plants.CowPots have been trialed in numerous university studies. See how bio pots compare.
Plastic & Peat Free
There is an estimated 500 Million tons of plastic waste generated in the horticultural industry each year. If we can stop using plastic grocery bags and straws, why not our growing pots? Every CowPot you grow in displaces one more plastic pot.
Minimal Root Disruption
Roots grow right through the pot wall. When it’s time to transplant, you don’t need to disturb the root base. Just place the whole pot in the ground and the roots will continue to flourish. This dramatically reduces transplant shock.
Value added byproduct
CowPots are the invention of necessity. A dairy farmer had an abundance of manure and invented a solution to form biodegradable, plantable containers from this byproduct
Quick and easy seedling transplanting
From seed starting to transplanting seedlings, CowPots are suited for each stage of your plants’ development. Stepping up a plant into a CowPot or planting into your garden, it’s so simple. Place the whole pot in the soil, completely covered. No need to crush or tear.
Renewable and Recycled
The raw material to make CowPots is composted cow manure. The cows are providing this resource 365 days/year. And before we form the manure into a CowPot, we capture renewable energy using a methane digester. The manure provides energy to heat our house.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Will it hold up long enough?
On average, CowPots are designed to stay intact for approximately 3 months in standard greenhouse growing conditions. This can vary based on watering practices.
#1 Growing Tip: Let the pot dry in between waterings to extend shelf life.
So, they are not the same as peat pots?
Peat bogs take 100 years to regenerate. CowPots are an eco-friendly and natural alternative to peat. Peat and other fiber pots are inert and have no nutrient value. The nitrogen in CowPots helps stimulate decomposition once planted in the ground.
