Are We Really What We Eat?

Did you know that healthy, living plants contain virtually all of the same elements, vitamins, and even hormones that are necessary for healthy human growth, development, and well-being?

When you think about it for a moment, it just makes sense. We eat our nutrients from our food, which is considerably composed of grains, vegetables, herbs, and plants.

Even most of the meat we consume was fed a diet heavy in plant materials. If the plants we consume, either directly or indirectly, are being fed a proper diet composed of these same vital elemental nutrients and supplements, it stands to reason that our food will be rich in these same components and as a result, much more beneficial for our bodies and health care.

Poorly fed plants, including plants that receive only a portion of their complete nutritional requirements, will likely have less of those elements that we share in life with the plant kingdom, and an inferior quality.

In fact, many of the latest plant foods, fertilizers, and supplements are now derived from well-fed and cared-for plants, truly illustrating the concept of the circle of life.

Like people, the nutritional requirements of plants vary by age, species, environment, health, and other considerations.

Organic fertilizers work by feeding the soil, which in turn feeds the plant roots. Granular organics are mixed in with the soil or potting mix and provide a long-term release of plant nutrients while enriching the soil.

Liquid organics provide a convenient way to feed plants naturally while watering, with a can, hose-end sprayer, or through a drip irrigation system.

Custom blended inorganic fertilizers have proven to provide the precise control in the application of nutrients that many growers and plant enthusiasts seek.
