Eco-friendly
"My perennials in your Cow Pots have been a huge hit at our Farmer's Markets this year! People totally love how easy they are and how eco-friendly they are. I am required to sell Proven Winners in their branded plastic pots and people actually pass them by in favor of other varieties because they are in Cow Pots!"
Biodegradable Greenhouse Pots
Cut out plastic & peat with better biodegradable greenhouse pots
There are a lot of choices when it comes to choosing greenhouse planting containers and trays. If you're considering fiber or biodegradable containers, CowPots have unique benefits to offer.
- Unrestricted root penetration through the porous pot walls is the most significant benefit that CowPots offer commercial growers.
- Growers and landscapers benefit from labor savings because you plant the whole CowPot in the garden and field, no need to crush, tear or remove the pot.
- CowPots break down within the same growing season, and can be planted directly into the garden or stepped up into a patio container. Either way, adding organic matter to your soil with no waste.
- Smaller greenhouse pot styles are designed to last up to 12 weeks in standard greenhouse growing conditions. The #3 and #4 style pots are best suited for vegetables, herbs and flowering annuals.
- Larger biodegradable container styles including the #5, #6 and #7 sizes are best suited for growing perennial herbs and higher value annuals like dahlias and canna lilies.
Reduce waste, reduce labor, improve soil and plant health.
CowPots Sniff Test
It's made from cow manure, but does it smell like manure? We put CowPots to the test and asked people to give their honest opinion when asked, what does this pot smell like?
Greenhouse Pots Drainage
A growing difference
Unlike plastic, CowPots are very porous. The pot will actually absorb moisture when you water your plants and acts as an extension of your growing medium. We strongly recommend allowing the pots to dry between waterings.
When the pot appears dark and is damp to the touch, the soil contents are also moist and do not need additional watering. As the soil and pot dry, the exterior will become light in color and will harden. Growers notice when it is cool and damp CowPots hold moisture and when it's hot and dry they may dry out faster than plants growing in plastic pots.
