Why Eartheart?
Why use Eartheart™ Products?
Our earth needs protecting. There is no denying that the use of harmful chemicals in our atmosphere, water, and soil are ruining the earth. Our products are designed to bring the soil and plant-life back in balance. Eartheart™ Plant Food's primary plant nutrients are derived from mined potassium sulfate, and kelp extracts. Eartheart™ uses only premium quality products, specially formulated for shrubs, gardens, and feeding of trees.
Why Does Eartheart Have Kelp in it?
Kelp is just what it implies, vegetable plants that grow on the ocean floor.
Specific types of Kelp are used in specific products. Some are added to cosmetics, and one type is added to premium quality ice cream for smooth texture and frost crystal resistance.
The Kelp, called potassium alginate, in Eartheart is an extract, or squeezed juices that are dried into a water-soluble powder. Basically, the potassium alginate has specified jobs to do for the plants or crops Eartheart is applied to. Here are some of those jobs:
- Activate root growth in cooperation with phosphate.
- Prevent transplant shock, with trace minerals.
- Speed "green up" by promoting chlorophyll in leaves.
- Reduce "sunburn" by converting ions (light energy) into photosynthesis and growth.
- And most importantly, supply substantial amounts of all the trace minerals found in excellent soils, as on the ocean floor. Including the ones that are "locked up," not available in over worked soils, sterile or polluted soils. Especially the minerals that man cannot duplicate or synthesize in chemical fertilizers.
- Most so-called ecological plant foods are leftovers from some other process. For example manure and sewage sludge; they are easy to dry and sell rather than hauling them to the landfill. And then there is blood meal and bone meal, both leftovers from the meat packing industry. They are highly cooked and sterilized for human safety, but it's questionable as to how plants could use them.
Eartheart contains absolutely NO leftover or unwanted components and the seaweed/kelp is of the highest quality.
If you need more information about Kelp and their uses on plants, research "Seaweed" on the internet and read all about it in Seaweed And Its Uses, by Dr. T.L. Senn, or contact Eartheart Naturals Inc. at 218-568-5731.
About Eartheart Naturals Inc.
For most of us, preserving the environment is a major concern. Eartheart Naturals Inc., shares those concerns and is doing something about it. Founded by Len and Deb Nelson as Deblen Environmental Inc., now, Eartheart Naturals Inc. has spent that time doing research and development on organic and organic based fertilizer (Plant food) products.
But the story didn't start then. During the 1970's the Nelsons had a tree service in the Park Rapids, MN area. At that time they were not satisfied with many of the products that were available to be used in their business. As a result, Len Nelson went "hunting" for something different. He heard about the work a scientist in South Dakota was doing with using Kelp as a fertilizer (plant food).
It was discovered that Kelp increases the level of chlorophyll, the green pigment essential for plant development. Chlorophyll ensures better use of the energy from the sun, fueling strong healthy growth. Chlorophyll also acts within the plant, raising it's natural defense mechanism to a higher level. As a result, the plant is better equipped to resist pests and diseases thus diverting more of its energy into growth with reduced stress.
Len Nelson used the product (Eartheart™ 18-16-9 & 18-0-9) in his tree service business with outstanding success. The loss of sick trees was running about 25% of those treated with conventional methods. With this new product, losses were cut to less then 1%! It not only took care of trees, but also worked well on virtually any plant. And boosting the plants natural defenses to ward of things like fungus and blight. As a result, Eartheart Naturals Inc. was born to follow through with more research into adding all natural products (ingredients) to the Kelp base. Testing was done on virtually anything that grows from grass to pine trees.
From the research over the past years comes Eartheart Horticultural (plant food) products. All micro-nutrients are kept intact making it a higher grade product (plant food).
The various varieties of Eartheart are formulated for many different applications for both the commercial and home user. Eartheart Naturals Inc.'s research has shown the products (plant food) to work on most fruit and vegetable plants, flowers, all species of trees, lawns and crops, inside or out.
Then the need arose for a very effective, but safe insecticide that can be used on plants. Eartheart Naturals Inc. now markets Eartheart Insect Sprays. It's 100% biodegradable water-based Permethrin. The insecticide, which is from Europe, is safe to be used around pets and people. It's odorless and has residual effects for up to four weeks and can be used indoors or outdoors on an endless list of insects.
