Forget Miracle Grow...go the natural way. Terracycle is an amazing product that changes the way we do gardening.
The breakdown:
TerraCycle produces a potent, all-natural, eco-friendly plant food that is the first mass-produced product in the world to be packaged in used plastic soda bottles. To go even further, the entire product is made out of garbage - from the contents to the packaging. As a result, TerraCycle Plant Food is the first mass-produced consumer product to have a negative environmental footprint.
TerraCycle processes organic garbage destined for landfills through a revolutionary process developed by the company's founders while students at Princeton University. TerraCycle is able to convert all this into liquid plant food in only three weeks.
Proven at the Rutgers University EcoComplex to outperform a leading synthetic plant food in many aspects of plant growth, TerraCycle Plant Food is more than simply eco-friendly — TerraCycle's products are environmentally beneficial, from production to application.
TerraCycle collects its used soda bottles by conducting environmental fundraisers at hundreds of elementary schools across the United States. TerraCycle has also partnered with numerous recycling centers as a source of these used bottles.
TerraCycle Plant Food can be sprayed or misted directly onto houseplants, lawns, and gardens. It also can be applied in mass agricultural settings, distributed through the existing irrigation facilities of farms, vineyards, even golf courses and parks.
