Sounds like a good idea. Better than peat pots, I guess.
My only problem with pots NOT made of plastic, is I tend to over-water 3 and 4 inch pots as seedlings are getting started, and the bottoms get soggy and fall apart.

Penny,
I saw it too! I thought it was a gross show, but a great idea!

I just had to check the posting after reading that title, lol. It's a great idea. I guess I'd wonder how they would prep the, er, material so that undigested weed seeds wouldn't sprout from the pots as they absorb water.

Laurelin,
I didn't get to see that particular show even though we watch it all the time but I did see excerpts and I guess it it screened and filters pretty well. I don't know if nurseies here are selling the pots but a friend in Conn. bought some this spring and she said her plants were growing like crazy. They are available online too.

Penny

Thanks, Penny!

It's a great recycling/composting idea. Nothing wasted, lots to be gained.

Laurel

The pots are a little on the pricey side ($1.00 each) when you compare them to regular pots but what a time saver. You would be feeding your plants right from the start and as Laurel said you are composting and recycling all at the same time. I am seriously considering ordering some for next year. Also great for those plants that don't transplant well.

Penny-I didn't catch the show but they sound like a great idea, I know the Buffalo Zoo sells Zoo Doo for fertilizing plants but I haven't tried it.

OH BOY finally! Hey Kathy and all Have been having a problem logging in to GW. Site keeps timing out and I am having to login everytime I want to post so I haven't been checking in.

Anyway with regards to the poo pots, I have talked to a few people on my hummer forum who have tried them and have been very pleased with the results. They did say that they would use them more if they were cheaper....so that is just and FYI for everyone that is interested in an update.

I haven't heard of the 'ZOO DOO" but it sounds like the same concept.
