Cow pots haven't been well received by my customers because by the time the plants are ready for market the pots look pretty bad and are not very finger friendly. The plants seem to like them, though.
I know that cowpots are not pretty looking when growing, but the Heirloom Plants grow better in them. But, I have stop selling my heirloom plants with the Cow pots. Some do not want to pay the extra cost. I guess I was just trying to education my customers of the "pure cowpots. There is many ways to use the cowpots, but I just cannot write it all down here.

Stay safe in this Hurricane everyone.
