CowPots®

CowPots® Biodegradable Seed Starting Pots

CowPots® are made in the USA from composted cow manure, offering a biodegradable, peat-free alternative that breaks down naturally after transplant. The porous pot walls allow healthy root development and air pruning, so your plants stay strong from seed to soil.

When it’s time to transplant, the entire CowPot® can be planted directly into the ground or a larger container, keeping roots intact and minimizing transplant shock for improved plant performance. Plus, there’s no trash to dispose of—just nutrient-rich material that enhances plant health and reduces waste.

Pair these biodegradable pots with our versatile, USA-made 1020 and 1010 trays and other container options designed to streamline your planting process.
