“PittMoss helps us immensely because we use much less water and we have to water less often… I can save literally hours and have that time to work on something else in the nursery. So for that reason, I love it. …Sometimes when you plant something at a client’s house, you install irrigation, you mulch it, you do everything right, but something can go wrong. It’s nice to know that if you plant into the ground from a container that has PittMoss, it reduces the transplant shock.”

Since switching from pine bark to PittMoss, Clark has cut the amount of fertilizer he uses dramatically. “I’ve cut it by about a third,” he said. “I don’t integrate my fertilizer into the mix. I post- apply once the plants look like they need it, and I haven’t had to apply very much this year.”

“I found with PittMoss I could grow and use less water. I grew mums that developed a good root system and could handle drying down and going without water for longer. Also, PittMoss uses fertilizer in a more economical and sustainable manner with less runoff going into the groundwater.”

“The one crop we did (overwintered), we planted 500 and were able to get our customer 490. I’m thrilled with that.The water-holding capacity and the nutrient-holding capacity of the blending mix allowed us to only have to water, at the earliest, every third day. A lot of times, we were able to get out towards the tail end of five days, depending on crop and weather conditions.”

“The business has taken off. In the last year, there’s been a big improvement in what I’ve been able to sell, and the bottom line is improved. I give PittMoss a lot of credit for that.”

“I’m pleased to say that the soil [PittMoss] has been amazing there was actually a week where I’m embarrassed to admit the hanging baskets and pots didn’t get watered. Out of all the hanging baskets the PittMoss soil ones are the only ones that the Calibrochoa survived in.”

“I supply organic markets… I’m using [PittMoss Prime] on every crop I get in: tomatoes, peppers, onions, cucumbers, lettuce, eggplant, beets… I’ve established my own organic fertilizer program.”
