(Melilotus officinalis) Biennial.

230,000 seeds/lb.; 7-10 days, 65-70ºF Plant in full sun in well drained soil, can tolerate brief periods of flooding.

(2-3' tall, first year. 6-8' tall, second year) This is one of the best honeybee nectar sources as well as an excellent cover crop. Plants send roots up to 5' deep making it extremely drought tolerant once established. Seedings done in mid-spring will start blooming in two months. The plants produce many flower spikes with sunshine yellow flowers. When grown as a cover crop it breaks up compacted soils, brings nutrients up from deep in the sub-soil and fixes nitrogen for future crops.

The best pots for starting your plants!

A CowPot is an exciting high-performing alternative to plastic and peat pots.

These earth-friendly “pots you plant” are made with biodegradable, 100% renewable resource composted cow manure, unlike peat which is mined from bog ecosystems or plastic which is derived from finite fossil sources.

Planted pots biodegrade fast Roots easily penetrate CowPots Healthier roots = stronger plants Enriches garden soil, naturally!

The special manufacturing process removes all of the weeds, pathogens and odor from the manure. All that’s left is the natural fiber and goodness of manure: the perfect plantable pot!

For the commercial grower, CowPots will stay intact for at least 12 weeks and breakdown quickly once planted. The nitrogen in composted cow manure helps the CowPots naturally biodegrade. Within 3 to 4 weeks decomposition is well underway virtually eliminating transplant shock and allowing plants to establish themselves immediately.

CowPots has been rigorously tested and validated by the University of Connecticut and many independent nursery partners. They are also approved for organic use by Baystate Organic Certifiers, Pennsylvania Certified Organic, and QCS. Testing has revealed that starting plants in CowPots can help shorten the growing cycle and increase fruit set by up to 10%! # 63100 12, 4” pots (1 sleeve)/$9.95 36, 4” pots (3 sleeves)/$24.95 144, 4” pots (12 sleeves)/$79.00 # 63101 12, 3” pots (1 sleeve)/$8.95 36, 3” pots (3 sleeves)/$22.95 144, 3” pots (12 sleeves)/$69.00
