CowPots are 100% Biodegradable

CowPots are a revolutionary alternative to peat pots, and are PEAT-FREE! They are named after cows for a very specific reason also. That's right, you guessed it... these starter pots are made from manure. Good ol' fashioned cow dung. Their porous walls allow for better penetration from plant roots, versus the usual peat pot and also decompose in a single growing season.

If kept dry, CowPots can be stored for years without damage. Once in use, they usually have a shelf life of anywhere between 10 and 12 weeks.

About Fungus & Mold

  1. CowPots, like peat pots, will grow fungus and mold on the exterior walls of the pot if they are kept too wet. DON'T WORRY though, this is completely normal, and is also part of the process of decomposition. You can easily control mold and fungus if you do not overwater your seeds / plants. When the pot is dark brown and moist to the touch, this means that it does not need to be watered.
  2. After transplanting, you should know that its the same fungi that helps to decompose your CowPots, making it the best biodegradable pot for both your garden, and the earth.

Handling The Pots

I know you're probably thinking- "isn't this a little disgusting?"

Well the answer is, NOT AT ALL! CowPots are baked at a temperature that kills pathogens such as salmonella and E-coli, both of which are bacterias that can cause harm to humans. That's not to say that you should be eating a sandwich while you are handling the pots however.

Aside from the science behind handling CowPots, It is recommended that you refrain from handling while the pots are wet. this can cause them to easily tear.

Transplanting Your CowPots

CowPots can be transplanted right into the earth. There is no need to rip or tear the pots apart. Once they are transplanted into your garden, they should decompose by the end of the growing season.

Make sure that you cover the entire pot with gardening soil so that none of the pot is exposed to air. Sandy soils, as well as soils with fewer micro-organisms will cause CowPots to not decompose properly.

Do They Actually Work?

Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station conducted a growing trial comparing 4 various biodegradable pots. The results from the trial are below and show the percentage of the pot that broke down over time.

0% of the rice hull pot (Still intact)
10% of the Jiffy Peat Pot
12% of the Fertil Spruce Pot
88% of the CowPot (Almost 100% Decomposed)

The nitrogen that is naturally in manure serves 2 primary purposes.

  1. It kick starts the process of composting, which allows CowPots to break down once planted.
  2. Nitrogen also attracts micro-organisms in the soil or sowing medium, which aids the process of decomposition.

Quick Facts

  • 3 inch wide diameter, by 2 & 7/8" height. (Base measures 1 & 7/8" wide.
  • 100% Biodegradable. Making CowPots the best choice for our planet.
  • Fungus and Mold are NORMAL and expected, especially if you are overwatering your pots.
  • Use new, sterile potting soil with your CowPots.
  • Only handle when dry, or try to refrain from handling when wet.
  • Transplant ENTIRE POT into the garden when ready. Ripping the pots apart can cause root shock. Best success is recorded after transplanting the entire CowPot.

Native American history at its best!
Format: Hardcover
Kent Blansett's engrossing story about the life & times of the famed Mohawk activist Richard Oakes is Native American history at its best. I appreciated the well-written context provided about the birth, growth and impact of the Red Power Movement and the pivotal role that social justice activism played in the rise of modern Indian nations in the United States today. This scholarly work helps us understand modern Native America and is a "must-read" for every Native American Studies student and scholar, as well as readers interested in important American social justice movements.

Excellent book on ML
Format: Paperback
This is a great book on machine learning. Topics covered are extensive - from beginner level to advanced topics including math behind different algorithms. However, not "all" algorithms are covered. Please go through the table of contents. The first part - 11 chapters - covers machine learning concepts and second part covers advanced topics with Pytorch. There are lots of excellent code and they work!! The quality of the book I received is excellent. I have gone through all 742 pages, and it has held up very well!! I used Jupyter notebook to run all examples. I created a new notebook and copied and pasted the code and ran them. This approach worked very well for me. At the same time, I could experiment with my take on the code snippets and definitely added to my knowledge. Only issue I have is on the second part of the book discussing PyTorch: (1) Some packages are a bit older version: e.g., transformer 4.9.1 whereas current version is 4.48+. It took some tweaking/recoding to get the examples working. (2) There is not much discussion on why certain architecture was chosen - e.g., number of layers, is there a rule of thumb on how to improve performance by changing these parameters? Even with CUDA the code run for a long time. Therefore, experimenting with different values of parameters become too time consuming. (3) On the same note, if I can achieve test accuracy of 90%+ using logistic regression and almost the same (perhaps one or two percent better with PyTorch with IMDB movie review dataset and that two much faster why should I use PyTorch for this dataset? Obviously, PyTorch is for certain types of problems. Discussions can be included by not adding to the exhaustive (and apt) contents. Personally I was disappointed by lack of any example on time series. Must have for ML practitioner as a reference and guide.

Excellent Textbook for Hands-On Learning of ML
Format: Kindle
This textbook is for the serious life-long learners of machine learning. There are at least two ways to ‘consume’ this book. For the expert in ML, this is a textbook to study as a clear comprehensive ML overview and then to dive into sections of interest or ignorance. The concepts are grounded in code examples and are well cited (with links) to sources. Further, this textbook is appropriate if you are TensorFlow-centric and want to broaden into cutting-edge ML models/tools coded in PyTorch. For a new learner to ML, this is a textbook to DO (not just READ) with hands-on and brain-engaged. If you realize that ML is a key life-long skill for your career, consider this textbook as part of a daily learning habit (10-30 min). From personal experience, my advice to the new learner is as follows… First, clone the GitHub repository, setup your Python environment, and study the textbook, while working through the notebooks. Go on tangents and break the code. Do this methodically as part of your daily learning habit, but do not hesitate to jump ahead several chapters to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting. There is enough excellent material here for a full year of ML adventures. I did a similar strategy with Raschka’s first textbook. About four years ago, I had finished Andrew Ng’s Deep Learning Specialization as a student in his first cohort. I knew the concepts well but could not do the actual application coding. I was surprised how my Python coding improved by following Raschka’s clean and elegant style. And Raschka’s code examples were meaty enough to be springboards into working applications. Several textbook editions later, what is different about this new edition? First, it moves you through scikit-Learn (a firm foundation) to PyTorch, instead of TensorFlow. PyTorch is a better stepping-stone, both conceptually and practically. With PyTorch, you will go further with less energy, while being able to convert your efforts into TensorFlow as needed. In addition, most of the cutting-edge ML/AI/DL research is in PyTorch. It is nice to read a recent arXiv paper, clone their repository, click on the Colab tutorial, and replicate their experiments, along with picking up a ton of new coding tricks & tips. I am excited to work through these PyTorch sections to hone my skills. Second, there is a clear recognition of model tracking and tuning practices. This is often a gap in other ML textbooks and courses. Once you progress beyond the simple demo examples in a lecture, you realize that the real work is experiments, more experiments, and still more experiments, so that you must understand what the model architecture and hyperparameters are doing to your dataset. There is good coverage of scikit-Learn pipeline, grid search, model performance, and the like. Third, ML/AI/DL practice is rapidly evolving. Every week new ML packages/services become available that could save much grief on your current project. What is refreshing about Raschka’s textbook series is that he constantly adding cutting-edge topics because he likes to stay current and to help us stay current. Hence, this edition contains recent ML treats as: transformers, self-supervised learning, autoencoders-to-GAN, graph neural networks, DBSCAN, t-SNE (with brief mention of UMAP), and PyTorch-Lightning.
