HAS ARRIVED FERTILIZING MADE EASY! GARDENERS WHO FERTILIZE MORE OFTEN, BUY MORE OFTEN We conducted extensive research that revealed two important facts: • Fertilizer sales drop after spring. Most homeowners make one large purchase of fertilizer per year—most often in early spring—and use it up during their initial planting. After that, they are less willing to take on larger gardening projects, but they still want to care for their gardens. • Organic gardeners would fertilize more often if it took less effort. Your customers want to grow healthy gardens and nurture their plants on a regular basis. However, they don’t always want to mix dry fertilizer into the soil, the labor-intensive method traditionally required for organic gardening. These facts reveal a problem, but Dr. Earth® saw the opportunity to provide the solution. Repeat sales are the core essence of any successful business. We understand that. We discovered that we could increase fertilizer sales in spring, and during the off season, by increasing the frequency of applications. And we can increase the frequency of applications by making them easier. It was clear that “the future of organic” needs to be easy, so we have literally created a new category, an entire line of liquid organic fertilizers packaged in high-quality designer bottles. The result is that gardeners will feed their plants more often. Like everyone else these days, organic gardeners lead busy lives, but they want to do the right thing. They deserve a wide selection of organic products that are easy to use and highly effective. Synthetic fertilizer products using hose– end sprayers have existed for decades and have been very successful because of their convenience. That has been their advantage, until now.

14

Finally, through another Dr. Earth® innovation, organic gardeners can enjoy that same convenience in a complete selection of organic products, designed to meet the needs of every plant they buy. When feeding the garden is as fun and easy as connecting one of our bottles to a hose every couple of weeks, your customers will do so as often as 6 to 10 times per year. And every time they do, they will need to purchase new bottles for each plant category they own. This creates substantial volume-based growth for retailers while providing ground-breaking technology for consumers. Irresistible convenience and effectiveness will keep them coming back for more. Organic gardening is now mainstream gardening. Organic product consumption is rapidly increasing worldwide. This is our greatest opportunity to support organic gardeners. This is also your greatest opportunity to grow your fertilizer sales. We understand the organic market and can supply it better than anyone. By focusing our support on the mainstream organic home gardener, we support your business and the entire organic movement. Gardeners will still use our dry organic fertilizers at the time of each planting or at the beginning of each season, knowing these fertilizers feed for months with ProBiotic™ inside. Our liquid fertilizers should never replace our dry fertilizers. They were created to increase the frequency of organic fertilizer applications. We have a colorful vision for growth, yours and ours, based on research and brilliantly enhanced with a rainbow of attributes. This is the crowning achievement in our colorful kit branding concept of combining soils, pest killers, and dry fertilizers into kits, for maximized sales. Offer your customer everything—unsurpassed organic products packaged with the ultimate convenience of hose–end sprayers, all in jewel tones that match plantspecific kits, impossible to ignore or resist. The future of organic is here!


NATURAL & ORGANIC

FERTILIZERS Our new family of liquid fertilizers combines the most advanced gardening technologies — prebiotic® and promoisture hydrate® — with jaw-dropping packaging, for one remarkable and complete product line. INNOVATION

It took research, ingenuity, and inspiration to produce our liquid concentrates. The initial challenge was how to best capture the vital essences of PreBiotic® and ProMoisture Hydrate® at peak freshness and deliver them in a bottle. We have succeeded!

PREBIOTIC®—FULL SPECTRUM SUPER FOODS FOR MICROBES AND MYCORRHIZAE PreBiotic® (soluble sugars) and other micronized exotic super foods—full of lifegiving energy—stimulate the living soil microbes to digest and break down the maximum amount of organic matter in the soil. This action releases essential plant nutrients in a directly available soluble form that actively growing roots can absorb to produce incredible plants. The more energy the living soil has available, the more rapidly the microorganisms will multiply. This means even more life in the soil, which directly influences the soil’s ability to stimulate vigorous and healthy plant growth.

PROMOISTURE HYDRATE®—ALOE VERA FERTILIZER INFUSION This cutting edge biotechnology—the science of keeping soil organisms alive—is available only in Dr. Earth® fertilizers and soils. Our food grade ProMoisture Hydrate® coats and protects the living microbes in the soil, and also the plant foliage, with a “slimy layer” that allows both to stay hydrated and protected against temperature extremes. It soothes the microbes’ cell walls and plant foliage very much like it protects and moisturizes human skin from harsh environmental conditions.

RAW SUPER FOODS — ADVANCED ORGANIC® RAW MEAL. VITAMINS, MINERALS, CARBOHYDRATES & GROWTH BOOSTERS Premium whole foods deliver nutrients the way nature intended, giving the full benefit of fresh whole food concentrates. Just as this principle applies to human health, it also applies to providing the best support for microbial and mycorrhizal life in every type of soil. Raw foods are always the best source, because they have not been adulterated by any human synthetic processes.

PROGRESSIVE INNOVATION

Perfection is in the genes. Nature’s intelligence is in the bottle©.

A Look Inside The Technology Every time a customer chooses a fertilizer, it’s a critical decision affecting the long-term health and productivity of their garden. A synthetic chemical fertilizer is a shortsighted choice, eliminating all the benefits contributed by the tiny living microbes in the soil. Plant health comes from feeding those microbes by adding organic material to provide food. As the microbes break down this material, nutrients it contains become available for absorption by plants’ roots. A synthetic chemical fertilizer feeds only the plant, giving it a temporary boost, but doing nothing to nurture a healthy soil environment with lasting benefits. Adding petrochemical synthetic fertilizer also drives up the salt index in the soil and changes the pH, which can have adverse effects on plants. More importantly, chemical fertilizers feed for only a short period of time. Organic fertilizers offer continuous feeding, because the microbes cannot digest all of the organic material at once. With chemical fertilizers, we also lose the microbes’ contribution to soil aggregation. Good soil aggregation leads to improvements in tilth, water retention, the rates at which water penetrates the soil, the amount of oxygen in the soil, and the reduction of runoff. All of these desirable soil conditions can be achieved by adding organic matter. As you can see, microbes are immeasurably important and essential to the health of all productive soils. The best way to build customer loyalty is to offer sound advice that will bring gardening success. To elevate microbial colonies in their gardens, encourage your customers to use Dr. Earth® organic fertilizers and soils. They contain ProBiotic™, a broad-spectrum seed and soil inoculant already mixed into the products. Two things will happen when your customers choose the Dr. Earth® brand specifically: • The organic fertilizer and soil will become the food source for the microbes, providing almost immediate nutrition for plants, which means fast results. • The soil will contain the proper number of microbes to truly benefit plants, because—unlike most organic fertilizers and soils—Dr. Earth® products have various species of beneficial microbes already included as components. Increased biological activity in the soil, and the buildup of existing bacterial populations, will help to make plants resistant to disease, frost, and insects, while maximizing the potential for growth and health. Soil is alive! Helping your customers learn to work with nature to nurture a healthy soil environment will offer them a better gardening experience and a better reason to buy more Dr. Earth® products from you.

The Promise of Pro-Moisture Hydrate® “Keeping the intelligence alive” A report on a patented scientific advancement in the viability of microbes in packaged soils By Milo Shammas – Founder and Formulator of Dr. Earth® products In 1991, I invented the concept of infusing fertilizers and soils with beneficial soil microbes and mycorrhizae. My Dr. Earth® products with ProBiotic™ revolutionized the lawn and garden industry and changed the expectations of customers. Now other soil producers add these costly microbes to their products, with the best of intentions, believing they are selling “living” soil. In fact, it may be “dead.” THE MYTH - that what works in the lab works in the real world The original Dr. Earth® microbe-infused products, the first ever available, were dry fertilizers in which microbes survived regardless of temperature extremes, a fact proven by ongoing random tests. Beneficial microbes are cultured in a clean laboratory environment–with a stable and moderate temperatures–for use in such products as yogurt, nutritional supplements, animal feed, beer, or packaged soil. Soon, everyone wanted this biology in both dry fertilizers and wet bagged soils. However, no one in the industry realized at the time, that adding them to WET soils created completely different, and fatal, circumstances for these tiny life forms. After packaging and shipment, these products are no longer in a controlled situation. That changes everything. THE REALITY - an explanation of microbiology in relation to environment In typical outdoor retail markets, soil packages face the harsh conditions of extreme heat and cold. In 2004, one of my customers questioned how microbes could survive in the bags in his hot parking lot. I replied that they could because they were in a dormant state. But I grew concerned. I could not, with a clear conscience, sell products claiming to contain live organisms if I wasn’t sure of that claim. I purchased my own soil from a Los Angeles nursery, where it sat in full sun, and had it tested. Two weeks later I received the bad news; all the microbes were dead. I tested other brands with added microbes, stored under the same conditions, and saw the same results. The organisms were dying within 30 to 60 days after packaging. The temperature of bagged soils stored outside on pallets, in direct sun, can reach 175°F, killing beneficial organisms. Exposure to freezing kills them too. Microbes infused into WET soils break dormancy and come to life, full of water, actively multiplying and digesting organic materials. When frozen, these organisms swell, causing their cell walls to crack open. They rupture and DIE. Other soil producers, who make microbe-infused soils, still live with this problem and continue to sell products of questionable value. THE SOLUTION - using “nature’s intelligence,” requires “keeping the intelligence alive” The answer to the problem was ALOE VERA. This desert plant thrives where temperatures reach as high as 140°F during the day and below freezing at night. Aloe vera works like a natural anti-freeze. It draws water from the surrounding environment and reduces evaporespiration. Just as it protects plants, aloe vera keeps microbes moist and alive in temperature extremes and elastic enough to survive the expansion that occurs with freezing. What aloe vera does for your human skin, it also does for living microorganisms. It coats and protects them and remains in contact. And, by lowering the surface tension of water, aloe vera serves to transport synergistic elements through the cell walls to penetrate deeply. This is why I formulated, and patented Dr. Earth ProMoisture Hydrate® with aloe vera.

PRO-MOISTURE HYDRATE® IS FOUND ONLY IN DR. EARTH® SOILS. 46

KEEPING THE INTELLIGENCE ALIVE Contains Patented Aloe Vera Infused With Soil The integrity of our company–along with our pioneering research–allows us to make the promise of ProMoisture Hydrate®: LIVING SOIL. We were the first to infuse beneficial microbes and mycorrhizae into fertilizers and packaged soils, offering customers “Nature’s Intelligence©.” Now, with our patented ProMoisture Hydrate® we are the first, and only, soil producer with the ability to ensure that we are “Keeping the intelligence alive©!”

PRO-MOISTURE HYDRATE® is found ONLY in Dr. Earth® soils. Note: The aloe vera plant, a succulent, has fleshy leaves with a tough outer skin, under which is a resinous, extremely bitter tasting yellow substance. Although this “aloe drug extract” has beneficial properties when dried, including being anti-bacterial, it is NOT in ProMoisture Hydrate® because that anti-bacterial property would harm the beneficial microbes and defeat our purpose. We use only the inner fillet.
