For the Professional Gardener...

In addition to being used in many home gardens, SmartGrow is appearing in more and more nurseries across the U.S!

SmartGrow is a new, all-natural woven hair fiber product in mat form used by container growers to reduce labor and production costs, accelerate plant growth, and increase the quality of their finished product. They attract and retain soil nutrients for plant uptake, biodegrade through microbial action providing slow release nitrogen, and retain moisture.In addition to helping achieve lush and healthy plant growth, the SmartGrow mats act as a natural barrier against weeds, thus reducing the amount of weeding and labor needed to weed.

For the Home Gardener...

SmartGrow can be used both professionally and in the home garden. Here's a story about one home gardener's SmartGrow experience:

Laurel Crane, an organic gardener in Homestead, Fl, tried SmartGrow and loved the results for her potted ornamentals.

Recently, Laurel purchased two Shrimp Plants (Justicia brandegeana) at a local garden center. She decided to try SmartGrow because it is all natural and would like to grow potted ornamentals with out applying fertilizers.

Laurel, used a potting mix and stepped up the plants to a larger and more attractive pot. After nearly 3 months (7/29/07-9/21/07) there was a noticeable difference in the size and quality of the plants.

The SmartGrow plants out preformed the other.
