Industry studies
show that over 80% of all manufactured soils contain Perlite, which
is needed for soil aeration and water retention. However,
Sure To Grow™ has several unique properties
that make it far superior to Perlite. Here are some of the important
points that we believe make Sure To Grow™ the
growth medium of choice:
Food
Safety
Sure To Grow™ is an
inert, sterile, hygienic medium made from FDA approved food
contact safe fibers. Unlike many growth media used today,
Sure To Grow™ cannot interact with food or plants in
any way.
Consumer Safety

E coli and salmonella are
familiar terms to consumers today. However, because Sure
To Grow™ is completely sterile, it protects food and
plants that are grown in it. Sure To Grow™ is not a
food source for microbes, pathogens, or molds. Vegetables
and plants are safer when grown in Sure To Grow™.
Grower Safety
Growers and their employees
constantly come in contact with chemicals, dust, and harmful
particles from the growth media they use, many types of
which are imported from foreign countries where safety
concerns and environmental requirements are not regulated or
enforced as they are in North America. Sure To Grow™
is hygienic, clean, dust free, and made in the United
States, making it a safe choice for those who work with it.
Environmental Safety
Because Sure To Grow™ is
completely environmentally safe, it is an excellent
alternative to peat and other media whose usage depletes the
world’s ecosystem. Sure To Grow™ can either be made from
environmentally friendly fibers that can be cleanly burned
by greenhouse growers and used as an energy source, or from
fibers that are compostable or degradable in the soil.
