Organic Growing Systems, Inc. Makes Major Advances in Developing Organic Fertilizer

Posted on: Tuesday, 1 August 2006, 09:00 CDT

Organic Growing System's Inc. (Subsidiary of Advanced Growing Systems, Inc.) (PINKSHEETS: AGWS) has developed one of the finest organic fertilizers on the market. Now, as the new company begins to make inroads to the $44 billion dollar a year fertilizer industry in the United States, it finds itself in a most advantageous position.

Traditionally, organic fertilizer has met marketplace resistance due to either cost or the perception that the finished product has an odor reminding people of the raw material used to create it. TOP Organic Fertilizer, manufactured now in Mississippi and soon to be manufactured in Georgia, uses raw poultry litter (not composted) as its basis. Applying organic chemistry, the product is changed from a source of soluble (i.e., polluting) Nitrogen, to insoluble non-polluting Nitrogen. During this process the issue of odor is addressed and the scent removed. Many years of research and work have gone into developing this new process. No longer is the product poultry manure, but is now a registered organic fertilizer.

TOP Organic Fertilizer works by feeding microbes in the soil. They in turn digest the fertilizer and release nutrition that the plants take up through their roots. "TOP feeds the soil and the soil feeds the plants" is the way OGS, Inc. President and CEO Lon Musgrove describes the process. The result is a single fertilizer that meets the needs of all plants, since all plants will do well in a healthy, nutritious soil. "Thus," Musgrove continues, "you don't need a fertilizer for the flowers in your garden, another for the lawn and still another for the trees. One size fits all."

TOP Organic Fertilizer is sold in 40-pound bags in the retail market and in one-ton totes for agricultural and large-scale applications. Customers are finding that with the increase in price of natural gas, the traditional source of synthetic chemical fertilizers, the new organic fertilizer is a good deal. Also, by requiring less watering and fewer applications each year, savings of water and fuel costs are now being found.

Sales continue to grow in all segments of the marketplace. One retailer reported selling 200 more bags per week this spring as a result of the decrease in odor. A major turf grower commented how his workers asked whether they were using a different fertilizer since it did not smell like what they were used to.

As the Company fills capacity in the Mississippi Plant, they plan to construct a new facility in Northern Georgia. This new plant will increase capacity over 10 times current levels. Advanced Nurseries (the other operating subsidiary of AGWS) has begun to introduce the fertilizer products to its current list of customers that include some of the largest commercial landscape and real estate development firms in the Southeast.
