Seeding A Winner

June 30, 2009

Bethel Organics Inc.'s Real Organic Real Easy Seed Starting Kit™ won the New Organic Product Grand Award in the All Things Organic™ New Product Competition with the highest overall score of 296 out of a possible 300 points. The kit includes the popular DOT Pots™ -- 100 percent biodegradable containers that promote root growth and allow for easy transplanting. Unlike the traditional "peat pot," the DOT Pot is 80 percent wood fiber based. This 80 percent wood to 20 percent peat ratio requires zero glues and binders in the manufacturing process. Since nothing "extra" is added, DOT Pots have been listed by OMRI™ as 100 percent organic, making them the first 100 percent organic, biodegradable plantable pots in the world. In addition to the Grand Award, it also won the Best Overall Organic Non-Food Product Award. The kits also include everything an organic home gardener would need to get growing: seeds, soil tablets, fertilizer, wooden plant markers and a garden almanac. The first kit features two popular plant seeds: tomato and basil. Other kits with different seeds will be seasonally available. Included items are either OMRI listed or USDA organic certified.
