WINTERIZE YOUR PLANTS: Help Your Indoor Plants Stay Green and Healthy in the Dry Winter Home with TerraCycleÂs Earth Plant Fuel
(PRWEB) December 3, 2003
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) December 2, 2003  TerraCycle, Inc., a pioneer in the research and development of organic gardening and agricultural products, today announced that its all-natural plant growth product, Earth Plant FuelÂ, offers a revitalizing, nutrient-rich plant fuel to keep indoor plants green and healthy throughout the winter months. With product and packaging created entirely from recycled waste, Earth Plant Fuel offers an environmentally beneficial way to stimulate strong, abundant plant growth  without the harmful, toxic chemicals found in traditional fertilizers.
ÂWhether they are indoor plants or have been brought inside for the season, plants need special care in the warm, dry atmosphere of a winter home, explained Dr. Joe Willis, Ph.D., a plant pathologist at the New Jersey EcoComplex. ÂItÂs important to ensure that the plants soil doesnÂt dry out, which can weaken their roots and stunt plant growth.Â
ÂEarth Plant Fuel offers a convenient mist that protects the delicate ecosystem around a plant in the dry winter air – keeping soil moist and healthy, and stimulating growth, said TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky. ÂAnd because of its unique production process and all-natural composition, Earth Plant Fuel not only improves plant conditions, but helps to improve the environment as well.Â
Earth Plant Fuel nourishes roots and leaves and revitalizes soil to protect plants and promote growth, year-round. It is created through a unique process called Âterracycling. Terracycling harnesses the natural power of earthworms to recycle solid waste  otherwise destined for local landfills  and produce a purely organic, reusable by-product that actually improves the condition of plants, lawns, and gardens. The liquid plant fuel is then packaged in recycled plastic drink bottles, Ârescued by local people in the community during school-wide recycling and fundraising efforts.
The process of terracycling goes a step beyond regular recycling by reusing existing resources to create something new that also has a positive ecological impact. Earth Plant FuelÂs natural properties reduce soil erosion, runoff, water contamination, and other damaging effects of weather and synthetic fertilizers.
Amateur gardeners can also use Earth Plant Fuel to better prepare outdoor plants for the harsh winter weather. Strong roots and moist soil are essential to helping plants survive the cold conditions. Spraying Earth Plant Fuel on plants and covering them with burlap or other fabrics can reduce the impact of freezing on the soil, and help keep roots healthy throughout the winter months.
As part of TerraCycleÂs community-based approach to improving the environment, Earth Plant Fuel is bottled in the local community, using labels decorated by area schoolchildren and artists.
