Details

Our Biodegradable Seed Starting Trays from CowPots® offer a compact, eco-friendly solution for starting seeds while reducing transplant shock. Made from composted cow manure, they naturally add organic matter and gentle nutrients to the soil, helping support healthy early root and seedling growth. This 3-pack of six-cell, self-supporting trays is scored for easy separation, making transplanting gentle, efficient, and nutrient-rich. Ideal for vegetables and flowers with quick turnaround times, these trays hold together well in greenhouse conditions yet break down naturally once planted in the garden.

  • • Perfect for seed starting and mixed plantings (marigolds and zinnias) or salsa packs (tomato, hot pepper, cilantro)
  • • Excellent for fast-growing vegetables like cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, and spring-flowering annuals
  • • Indefinite shelf life when stored cool and dry; stays intact up to two months after planting in greenhouse conditions

Biodegradable Seed Starting Trays FAQs

How do I separate the individual cells for transplanting?

The six-cell tray is scored between cells to make separation easier at planting time. Gently separate the cells, then plant each biodegradable pot directly into the soil with its seedling, minimizing disturbance to developing roots.

Can I start different plants in the same six-cell tray?

Yes. The six individual cells make it easy to start a small assortment of plants together. Try creating a themed combination, such as tomatoes, hot peppers, and cilantro for a salsa garden, or mix several vegetables or flowers you plan to transplant at about the same time.

How long can seedlings stay in the pots?

Once filled and planted, the pots are designed to remain intact for up to two months under greenhouse growing conditions. They're best suited to seedlings with a relatively quick turnaround from sowing to transplanting.

Can unused Six Cell Biodegradable Seed Starting Pots be saved for later?

Yes. Unused pots have an indefinite shelf life when stored in a cool, dry location. Keeping them dry during storage is especially important because the biodegradable material is designed to respond to moisture.
