CowPots are not only a biodegradable, plantable replacement for plastic pots, but have additional benefits as well. Roots easily penetrate the walls of the pot, eliminating transplant shock, and they rapidly breakdown after transplanting providing the goodness of manure to the garden. With no plastic to clean up or dispose of, transplanting is quick and convenient.
