PLANTBEST INTRODUCES A RESPONSIBLE GARDENING ALTERNATIVE TO PEAT MOSS

January 27, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
TORONTO, CANADA – PlantBest, Inc. is happy to introduce PeatEliminator™, the better replacement for Peat Moss.

U.S consumers now have an economical, convenient and responsible alternative to Peat Moss, which has been criticized in recent years as being environmentally unfriendly due to the peat bog harvesting practices associated with it. New PeatEliminator™ is 100% natural but instead made entirely from coconut coir, a coconut byproduct. (Coconuts are distinguished by their rapid growth in tropical climates, quite distinct from peat bogs, which require decades to regenerate.)

All The Benefits and More
PeatEliminator™ offers all the benefits of peat moss without harvesting the world’s precious peat bogs.

· Absorbs water each and every time (unlike peat moss)
· Holds more water than peat moss
· pH neutral, making it ideal for more plants than peat moss
· Incredibly compact sized compared to peat moss
· Doesn’t use up precious peat bogs and is therefore truly eco-friendly

Benefiting Wildlife & Conservation
A portion from each sale of PeatEliminator™ is donated to World Wildlife Fund Canada (WWF) in support of conservation efforts around the world. As part of the company philosophy, the company’s other gardening products also represent a commitment to the environment and sustainability. Through its fair trade approach, PlantBest creates jobs and opportunities for workers in an isolated and economically depressed region of the Mekong region of Vietnam, creates a demand for raw materials (often by products) and compensates workers at a rate much better than the national average.

PeatEliminator™ is now available throughout the United States at independent garden centers, selected major regional retailers (like Menards and Hy-Vee) and online via www.plantbest.com.
