CowPots are manure-fiber based seed starter pots, which not only allow for unrestricted root growth creating stronger, healthier plants, but also provide an earth-friendly alternative to plastic and peat pots.  They were created by my father, a dairy farmer in the Northwest Corner of Connecticut.  For more information about gardening with these pots, growing tips are available at www.cowpots.com.
