CowPots are 100% Biodegradable

CowPots are a revolutionary alternative to peat pots, and are PEAT-FREE! They are named after cows for a very specific reason also. That's right, you guessed it... these starter pots are made from manure. Good ol' fashioned cow dung. Their porous walls allow for better penetration from plant roots, versus the usual peat pot and also decompose in a single growing season.

If kept dry, CowPots can be stored for years without damage. Once in use, they usually have a shelf life of anywhere between 10 and 12 weeks.

About Fungus & Mold

  1. CowPots, like peat pots, will grow fungus and mold on the exterior walls of the pot if they are kept too wet. DON'T WORRY though, this is completely normal, and is also part of the process of decomposition. You can easily control mold and fungus if you do not overwater your seeds / plants. When the pot is dark brown and moist to the touch, this means that it does not need to be watered.
  2. After transplanting, you should know that its the same fungi that helps to decompose your CowPots, making it the best biodegradable pot for both your garden, and the earth.

Handling The Pots

I know you're probably thinking- "isn't this a little disgusting?"

Well the answer is, NOT AT ALL! CowPots are baked at a temperature that kills pathogens such as salmonella and E-coli, both of which are bacterias that can cause harm to humans. That's not to say that you should be eating a sandwich while you are handling the pots however.

Aside from the science behind handling CowPots, It is recommended that you refrain from handling while the pots are wet. this can cause them to easily tear.

Transplanting Your CowPots

CowPots can be transplanted right into the earth. There is no need to rip or tear the pots apart. Once they are transplanted into your garden, they should decompose by the end of the growing season.

Make sure that you cover the entire pot with gardening soil so that none of the pot is exposed to air. Sandy soils, as well as soils with fewer micro-organisms will cause CowPots to not decompose properly.

Do They Actually Work?

Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station conducted a growing trial comparing 4 various biodegradable pots. The results from the trial are below and show the percentage of the pot that broke down over time.

0% of the rice hull pot (Still intact)
10% of the Jiffy Peat Pot
12% of the Fertil Spruce Pot
88% of the CowPot (Almost 100% Decomposed)

The nitrogen that is naturally in manure serves 2 primary purposes.

  1. It kick starts the process of composting, which allows CowPots to break down once planted.
  2. Nitrogen also attracts micro-organisms in the soil or sowing medium, which aids the process of decomposition.

Perfect
Color: Blue, Size: Square
Just what I needed. The size is perfect as I didn’t want anything too large to place my watches and other accessories inside near the corner of my desk. Its size is essentially 7x7, and the design is sleek compared to other organizer holders. I got the color in blue and it looks stunning with the rest of my setup. I’m unsure about other reviewers, but mine came safely and the leather walls are decently thick, so it’s not too flimsy when buttoned together which holds very securely. There are hole spaces at the bottom corners once assembled, so if you have super small items such as beads or really small jewelry, they could potentially fall out, but most of my items are large enough that won’t be of concern. If you have a wire charger near by, the holes could be used to charge your smartphone inside, which has its own practical usage. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re on a lookout for a sleek but compact organizer holder, and I personally will consider getting another one in the future for myself for other household belongings.

I needed to be more organized, so I purchased this. It holds my remote, pens and other things needed with my tissues. I like that it is top loading. The cover is very secure. I like the look of it and how well it works for my bedroom. Good choice for the price.

Nice Product
Color: Retro
This item is nicely made and makes a good showing when placed on a table. I am very pleased with this and hope it comes in another color soon. I put this in my family room but would like to have a 2nd one, maybe different color. Very reasonably priced also.

Looks Classy, Great for Containing Items
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
Looks classy and fits even large boxes of tissues. The tissues are covered by a flap you lift to put them in. This is on a table next to where I work sometimes, and I don’t have to carry things on my desk with my laptop to the table. I use the back compartments for charging cords, pens, and hand crème, and I am able to hide a bottle of nail polish in with one of the cords because of the deeper compartments. This is highly functional, and I can pull out a tissue with one hand and not be concerned the box will come with it. Even though it looks like leather, it’s plastic and will make it easy to clean and wipe dust off without needing leather conditioner.
