CowPots, seed starter pots made out of composted cow manure fibers, has added three new sizes to its offerings for commercial growers. The new 3-inch round, 7-inch square and 12-inch square pots are a result of customer requests.
 
“Our commercial customers have asked us to add a 3” round pot to complement our 3” square pot because some greenhouses and nurseries prefer round over square,” said Matthew Freund, owner of CowPots. “The larger 7-inch and 12-inch pots allow for bulb planters, larger plants such as garden mums, and combos/mixed containers.”
 
As with all CowPots, the new sizes will stand up in a commercial nursery for over 12 weeks once filled and will quickly biodegrade once planted in the ground, releasing nitrogen into the soil to aid plant growth.
