Introduction:
Organic products are made from materials from organic farming. The most well-known organic
products are organic foods, but clothing and personal care products can also be produced
from organic farming. Many countries have strict consumer protection regulations to protect
consumers from the consumption of harmful products. These agencies often certify
cultivated produce as organic. The United States uses USDA certification from the National
Organic Program to define products as organic. According to USDA, a product must meet
several criteria to be considered organic. The national list of licensed and prohibited substances
lists synthetic and non-synthetic substances that can be used in the manufacture of organic
products. Farms that use these organic products must “protect natural
resources, protect biodiversity, and use only approved substances.”
Success in Organic Horticulture:
Milo Shamas and Ph.D. in his company. The earth is not a stranger to success in organic
horticulture. As the “Godfather” of probiotic soil, he first created organic packaged
soil inoculated with live microorganisms. This unique approach has revolutionized the market
for organic packaged soils and fertilizers, encouraging many imitators to follow suit. In 2004,
Shammas realized that microorganisms in packaged soil could be vulnerable to damage under
extreme temperature conditions. Damage usually occurs when the floor is transported or
stored at very high or low temperatures. To address this issue, Shammas has patented Pro
Moisture Hydrate (derived from Aloe Vera). He found that by using an extract from the inner
fillet of aloe vera, living microorganisms in the packaged soil could be protected from extreme
temperatures. This has revolutionized the organic packaged flooring industry. Simply put, if the
pre-packaged soil does not contain ProMoisture Hydrate, it will not be able to protect the
microorganisms it contains from extremely high or low temperatures. ProMoisture Hydrate is
Dr. Earth offers the highest quality organic products without compromise. There is a reason
why the company’s slogan is “the source of organic integrity.” All products from Dr. The Earth are
sourced from the highest quality organic ingredients, contain no GMOs, and are organically
certified.
Promoisture Hydrates:
As previously mentioned, Milo Shammas is an inventor and currently holds four patents,
including one for his ProMoisture Hydrate. He is a problem solver and loves to challenge
himself to find innovative solutions to difficult issues. As the CEO of Dr. Earth, Shammas has
proven himself as a businessman, but it is his creative side that drives him and gives him
purpose. It’s no wonder that his love of reading and writing, along with his passion for healing
the earth, fueled his desire to become an author and publisher. In addition to being a CEO,
inventor, publisher, and author, Milo Shammas is an activist. He has consistently used his power
to address real concerns that are normally outside the realm of an organic fertilizer company.
The sad fact that many people around this world do not have access to clean water is a real
concern for Shammas, which is why he personally supports the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
Milo Shammas is the type of guy who takes world hunger seriously; a problem that he can, and
will, help solve. Shammas doesn’t just dream big, he makes big things happen. Shammas is
motivated to make the most of his unique opportunity to generate significant change in our
world, and he does it for the betterment of all of the Earth’s inhabitants. Shammas’s new
website, miloshammas.com, will be a central hub for those interested in pursuing an organic
lifestyle and/or getting involved in and learning more about his personal quests through
activism.
Regaining Earth’s health:
There are many great scientists, philosophers, and activists who understand the importance
of restoring the health of the planet. The damage we have done to our planet originally came
from ignorance, but that is no excuse for continuing to damage our planet. It can no longer be
denied that fertilizers and pesticides are really damaging the delicate ecosystems of our
environment. The fact that there are many people around the world who do not have access to
food and clean water can no longer be ignored. Now is the time for a change.
Quote about Organic Garden:
Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” One of the easiest ways to
immediately make a real, significant change is to start an organic garden. From providing
yourself and your family with fresh, organic produce to gaining more knowledge about living
soils, the benefits of this seemingly insignificant venture are numerous. Milo shammas’s book
“Home Grown Food” can help gardeners of all skill levels practice organic gardening techniques
and gain all of the benefits that an organic lifestyle provides.
In a world where not everyone
fully comprehends the significance of Hippocrates’s quote, “let food be thy medicine and
medicine be thy food,” the book “Home Grown Food” stands out as a beacon of truth, integrity, and real hope for our future.
Serving a higher purpose:
Dr. Earth has been here to serve the organic community for over 30 years. Since the
introduction of the first probiotic soils and
fertilizers into the horticultural industry in early 1991, we have continued to grow exclusively
organically.
The highest level of Organic because it matters:
Our purpose is simple – to make the very best products that come from the best ingredients on
earth. We understand that not all organics are created equal. We work hard to craft the best
products for real-life organic gardeners. We do not use cheap chicken manure fillers or make
“value” products because they come with a price tag well beyond any monetary cost. If it is not
sustainable or does not have a positive impact on our environment, we do not use it.
Fertilizer and soil from supermarket food:
We are always working to find sustainable solutions for a better future. We harvest nutrients
from today’s food waste to create organic fertilizers and soil to grow tomorrow’s food. Recycle
estimated food waste into premium fertilizers and soil by collecting food-grade ingredients
from supermarkets and farms. We address the food safety concerns of all organic growers and take
pride in being free of non-GMOs, pathogens, and chicken manure. There is nothing in
vain and the recognized waste is recycled. As a loyal manager of the planet and a proud sponsor
of sustainable food industry associations, it is our mission to operate and protect sustainable
business models.
We recover plastic before it enters our oceans:
We doctor. The earth is sensitive to a growing world population and shares a passion for clean
water. By partnering with Ocean Bound, we remove approximately £ 10 million annually from
plastics that may contaminate the ocean. We attach great importance to human health and
believe that pure and clean drinking water is the right of all. We help Third World
workers compensate for their collection of plastic waste before it pollutes the ocean.
Preserving our planet for a better tomorrow:
We all call the earth our home. That is the most important thing we all have in common. All
companies need to have a common goal. To improve people’s lives while protecting
our great planet. First people, then profits. It is the right order for mankind and society. Every
company must respect our planet with good sense and gratitude. It’s not a garbage dump for
greedy businesses. My Goal as Dr. CEO of The Earth is to work for a better future for all people
and doctors. To make the earth a leading company of all organic matter that touches our souls
and body. I am a loyal customer servant. Thank you for giving me this noble opportunity.

Home Grown tomatoes:
I have never tasted an organically grown tomato that was not delicious. In fact, every homegrown organic tomato I have ever tasted has been more delicious than any tomato I have ever
bought at the supermarket. Tomatoes are fun and easy to grow once you know the basic
growing requirements: sun, water, trellising, good soil, and feeding.
Sun:
Most tomatoes require full sunlight for maximum growth and fruit size, although there are
varieties that can tolerate less sunlight than others and still remain very productive. Check with
your local nursery professional for those varieties if sunlight is limited in your garden.
Water:
Water tomatoes as they require it. Young tomatoes will require a little more water at first until
they become established and their root system has penetrated deep into the soil. You can
check to see if your plants might need water simply by poking your finger into the soil. If it is dry
to the touch two inches below the soil surface, then it is time to water. Depending on the time
of year and your climate, you will have to water as the tomato plants require it. The warmer it
is, the more you water. Tomato plants will tell you very quickly if they are under drought stress by
wilting their leaves, so it is very important to keep an eye on your garden and change your
watering habits according to your climate and your plants’ needs.
Trellising:
Staking or trellising your tomatoes is very important as a means of exposing as many of the
leaves to sunlight as possible. The more sunlight energy tomatoes have, the larger the fruit size.
Sunlight translates into sugar, and sugar translates into food, taste, and nutrition for your
tomatoes.
Good Soil:
Soil preparation is one of the most important elements of a successful tomato harvest.
Organically grown tomatoes start with adding the proper organic ingredients to the soil, such as
compost, mulch, planting mix, and, most importantly, organic fertilizer (tomatoes are heavy
feeders.) Compost and mulch will help create friable soil that is workable, retains water,
discourages weed growth, creates a friendly environment for earthworms, and reduces water
runoff. These factors will also help it retain more nutrition, made available to plants through a
continuous supply, as the organic ingredients break down slowly over time. You can do all of
this preparation, OR you can simply purchase our perfectly customized Dr. Earth Home Grown
Vegetable Garden Planting Mix. Make it easy on yourself by taking advantage of the scientific
research behind this specialized mix.
Feeding:
The organic fertilizer will feed the living soil. By feeding the beneficial soil organisms—or
”microbes”—that make the soil “alive,” we feed our tomatoes. This process is achieved as the
microbes digest the organic fertilizer and convert it into a form that plants can use. For
example, when we feed our soil with fish meal, plants cannot use the fish meal in its protein
form. It must be broken down into a simpler, more accessible form of nitrogen that tomato
plants can use directly, for their growth. Think of these microbes as enzymes, very similar to the
enzymes in our stomachs. When we eat proteins, such as those found in fish, red meats, or
fowl, they must be digested or broken down in our stomachs before we can receive the
nutritional benefits of the protein. The same exact thing occurs in the soil through the
enzymatic action of the beneficial soil microbes.
Blossom end rot:
Also, tomatoes are susceptible to a condition called ”blossom end rot” which will distort the
growth and ruin the tomatoes. This is usually caused by a calcium deficiency in the soil. Dr.
Earth® Organic 5™ Tomato Vegetable and Herb Fertilizer contain a high calcium value, to avoid
blossom end rot. Feeding the soil with rich organic materials is necessary to achieve tasty,
vigorous, large, abundant, and nutritious tomatoes. Visit your local independent nursery
professional for advice on which tomato varieties will work best in your garden
