Cow(poop)pots
Although I generally steer away from recommendations for purchasing a product, these silly “cowpots” are at least worth looking at, whether or not you’d want to use them to start or transplant seedlings into. They’re made with “100% renewable composted cow manure”, and are a fascinating sort of byproduct of agriculture as we know it, in which manure can become an excessive, unwieldy byproduct. As with any gardening product (even though I couldn’t get the little “buy this here” arrow off the picture), please do your homework before purchasing anything!
You may have seen these biodegradable pots before - I hadn’t but immediately wanted to share this information. Here’s a link to the history of the cowpots - and how the farm’s inventors ended up with weed-free, composting manure that they then turned into pots. It’s kind of nifty, actually, featuring a methane digester from which they harvest gas, then separate the remaining solids for composting and liquids as fertilizer on the fields.
