CowPots™ The GREEN Flower Pot!

Plants thrive in these award winning BIODEGRADABLE pots!

CowPots™ Are the invention of Matt and Ben Freund, dairy farmers in NW Connecticut who needed to find an environmentally responsible way to dispose of the cow manure. They run a herd of 250+ milk cows that each generate about 100 pounds of poop a day. Now that’s a lot of STUFF! Using a patented process the manure is dried, completely composted, mixed with natural fibers, and pressed into pots.

These pots come in several sizes that will cover all your needs. Plants love CowPots... their tiny hair roots are never disturbed. Once you have the correct growth and the soil is warm just plant the whole pot right in the ground. CowPots are 100% BIODEGRADABLE and though they last for months in the greenhouse or your windows, they will dissolve in weeks once planted in the ground, providing additional essential nutrients. What’s not to like?

• Biodegradable pots transplant right into the garden. Go directly into the soil with the plant then fully decompose - with no throw away - encourage root development - avoid plant stress
• Important hair roots are not disturbed—NO transplant shock!
• Roots grow through the pot and take natural fertilizer with them. No more root-bound plants.
• Use of a renewable product with little impact on the earth.
• Add soil-conditioning natural nutrients to your garden
• Convenient and time-saving Easy to handle, odor-free and non-toxic
• CowPots™- 100% Made in the USA
• Reduces non-recyclable plastics - Reduces dependence on foreign oil
• Reduces municipal waste
• Promote recycling of agricultural waste to horticultural benefit

Best of all, the manure in Cowpots is a renewable resource, unlike peat which is mined from bog eco-systems or plastic which is derived from finite fossil sources!

Tender, young roots easily penetrate the sides and bottoms of the pots, allowing them to get air and grow unrestricted. The manure attracts earthworms and is good for the garden overall.

Mite-Rid

Prevent and eradicate spider mites with Mite-Rid

Spider mites destroy plant cells by sucking out their contents, and Mite-Rid works by providing a barrier which is harmless to the plant, but fatal to the mites. Some of the components of Mite-Rid are also absorbed by the plant and then suppress the life cycle of the mites.

Organic Miticide

Mite-Rid uses a unique formula of botanical oils, including neem, garlic, eucalyptus plus surfactants to provide a protective barrier against many leaf eating pests, and most effectively, the Spider Mite.

Mite-Rid is a fully bio-degradable miticide, is not toxic to animals, and under normal use will not affect the plant's metabolism.

One thorough application is usually enough, but heavy infestations may require two, as the tiny eggs can be a bit more resilient; so we recommend a second application in these cases. (Note: It is advisable not to use Mite-Rid in conjunction with biological controls like predatory mites!)

Get them before they get your plants!

They say prevention is better than cure, and just a little Mite-Rid goes a long way to preventing mite infestation. A periodic spray with Mite-Rid is the best way to never see your plants suffering an attack of spider mites. For foliar spray .2 oz.(5mls) per 5 pints warm water. Spray till run off.

Remember, when it's hot, and dry, mites are just a gentle breeze away from your plants, and they usually go undetected until they've multiplied to plague proportions. Just one spray every few weeks in the hottest season will protect your crop from this near invisible pest.

Hydrolyzed Fish Fertilizer

Our fish fertilizer is produced for us by the largest producer of HYDROLYZED fish in the country. It is an all organic highly nutrtional protein fertilizer, made utilizing naturally occuring enzymes present in fresh North Atlantic fish. This is accomplished by using a COLD process which break down fish, or fish frames to simpler protein complexes. This process is called Hydrolysis. This process yields a stable, NON –ODEROUS, liquid fertilizer that is easy to use, safe product. It also contains all the micro and macronutrients naturally found in fish.  The nitrogen and other nutrients are chelated, so they are readily available for plants consumption.   Unlike fish emulsions, Hydrolyzed Fish Fertilizer retains the fish proteins and oils and has no unpleasant odor.  Test in local Long Island Gardens showed it to outperform chemical fertilizers.

Some advantages to using hydrolyzed fish fertilizer are that it rebuils soil, gives excellent plant growth with outstanding flowers and is made from a renewable aquatic resource. With a double filtration you are assured of a ease of application with most irrigation sprayer systems.

Here are some comments from The Weekend Gardener online:

I'm sure all of us have our favorite types of fertilizers. When I went to school, the Horticulture Department constantly used chemical based fertilizers, and, in fact, organics were always looked down upon as inferior. As soon as you mention "organic," people think of buying smelly manure in a bag, trying to rake it over their lawn, making a mess, and having their yard look terrible for weeks, etc. That was then, this in now.

Organic fertilizers now are just good, if not better, than the chemical fertilizers out there, and many of them are combined with certain minerals and products to improve the soil, so you get a real bang for your buck.

A few years ago, I was introduced to Hydrolized fish and was very impressed. It is NOT, I repeat NOT fish emulsion. It is processed completely differently, has little to no odor, is a liquid that won't clog drip irrigation, won't build up salts in the soil, and is readily available to be used by the plants Fish emulsion is heat processed, meaning that a lot of the nutrients and amino acids are totally destroyed during processing, leaving you with a product that has little nutritional value and a smell that is memorable.

Hydrolized, on the other hand, keeps all its nutrients and proteins and allows them to be readily available to the plant. It also makes those nutrients water soluble, so you can use them for foliar spraying or drip irrigation, with no worries of clogging.
