How?
The nitrogen that is naturally in manure serves 2 purposes:
- It kickstarts the composting process allowing CowPots to break down once planted.
- Nitrogen also attracts microorganisms in the soil to assist in the decomposition process.

Fungus and sometimes mould
The less glamorous, but essential aspect of being a CowPot
We take great pride in the natural ingredients we use to make CowPots. For centuries gardeners, farmers and growers have discovered the value of using cow manure as a soil amendment. At CowPots, we’ve just helped by innovating a new and unique way to get that manure into the garden. So we remind all of our gardening enthusiasts, CowPots may not look like manure nor smell like manure, but they are manure, and thus decompose, biodegrade and add value to your garden just like manure does.
For our friends that have visited cow pastures after a herd of grazing cattle, it is not uncommon to discover mushrooms growing from the cow patties left behind. This natural cycle of decomposition is also apt to happen on CowPots, just as it does out in the pasture.
So don’t worry, it’s natural mould – growing medium
We have completed countless experiments and tests on the moulds and mushrooms found growing on CowPots. None have ever tested harmful. The growth of mushrooms is natural and is proof that CowPots are a great growing medium.

How Do You Use CowPots?
“Being able to grow healthy dahlias before the weather can finally be relied on for planting outside …
This is huge for me.
The photo (right) is of those pre-potted dahlias that are waiting for me to plant them outside in my raised beds!”
