With Free Shipping!
AZUSA, Calif. (July 30, 2009) – Monrovia, the leading grower of premium garden plants, announced that its seven plant-specific organic fertilizers are now available through Amazon.com. Developed specifically for home gardeners who want professional growing results, the Monrovia Organics line has been sold at independent garden centers nationwide since they were introduced last year, and now with the convenience of online shopping. The four-lb. bags of fertilizer are $8.99, including shipping.
Reiner Kruger, the company’s soil expert, points out that one of the most important things gardeners can do for their plants is to make sure the soil is healthy. Monrovia Organics combine just the right balance of organic materials, including mycorrhizae, a beneficial fungus.
Mycorrhiza comes from the Greek words Myco meaning fungus and rhiza meaning root. The mycorrhizae create filaments or threads that are actually extensions of the root systems – enlarging the surface-absorbing area of the roots by as much as 100 times. Mycorrhizal plants are often more resistant to diseases, such as those caused by microbial soil-borne pathogens, and are more resistant to the effects of drought. These effects are perhaps due to the improved water and mineral uptake in mycorrhizal plants. Mycorrhizal plants often require less watering and are more likely to be drought and salt tolerant.
“We have added mycorrhizae to our soil mixes in the nursery for more than a decade,” said Kruger, “which is one reason our plants are so healthy and flourish in the garden. We’re pleased to offer these products on Amazon.com and at neighborhood garden centers. ”

Unlike most other organic fertilizers, each Monrovia Organics product is granulated for uniform quality and ease of use. Offered in four-lb. bags.
