CowPots TV208926 Round Cowpot, 3"

Great when on sale, otherwise too expensive. Great for starting seeds, holds moisture, not sturdy, perfect size, good drainage, not good for hanging.

I purchased the "Cowpots" for the first time this year and I am very happy that I did. I germinate many varieties of seeds each year both Vegetables and flower. In the past I have used peat-based pots for the plants that do not handle transplanting well because they do not like their roots disturbed. I found these pots and decided to give them a try. Not only are they environmentally friendly and sustainable, but they are strong and hold up well. I found that the peat-based pots hold on too much moisture and fall apart before the seedlings are ready to be put in the ground. The "Cowpots" are stronger and sturdier than the peat-based pots, yet the roots easily penetrate the pot as the plant grows preventing it from becoming root bound. All in all, I am glad I found this product and will purchase again.

Performed just as described, and repotted easily when roots came out of pot.

excellent product.

Very useful not to have to remove pot to plant.

I had issues with direct sowing my cucumbers due to garden pests that would eat the sprouts. So I sowed seeds in one of these, and once they were big enough, transplanted them into the garden. No issues with transplant shock! Also, these break down well with water, which is great since it won't confine the roots upon planting. You just have to be careful that they're able to air out after watering if you're starting seeds in them before the season, otherwise they might fall apart on you. No issues with bad smells either!

They work and the price is right!

Almost every starter pot on Amazon contains peat, which is environmentally unsustainable. I was happy to come across these and hoped they'd hold up. I planted tomatoes, melons and larkspur seeds in all 12 of them a month ago. The material readily and quickly absorbs moisture, so your watering needs are reduced. I don't have a gnat problem and the seeds have all germinated. I still have another two months to go before these pots go into the ground, so I'll update this review if they start to fall apart. But, for now, given what I paid for them, the fact that they're environmentally friendly and that they're holding up nice, I'm giving them five stars.

Handy for growing indoors during winter months and can easily be transferred into an outdoor garden when needed. The pots hold substantial moisture thereby reducing the need to water plants frequently. A great addition to meet your gardening needs.

Delivered as expected but the Order is for 12 cow pots but only 6 were in the package. Pls send another package of 6 pots without charge since I paid for 12!
