Since winter was so mild and spring so quick to arrive this year, I am pumped to garden. Even more than usual! Seeing all the green so early has my creative gardening juices flowing! I think Expand ‘n Gro™ will make my garden even more beautiful!

No huge bags of soil to haul around. The Expand ‘n Gro™ swells to three time the original size when you add water! Plus it will continue to feed plantings for six months and retains water! If the winter was mild, the spring warm–I can’t imagine how hot the summer will be in Illinois this year! Water retention and plant food can only be a huge plus!

The secret to the expanding soil is coir–an all natural, lightweight material taken from coconut husks. Coir is made up of long and short fibers. The long fibers are removed and are used in products like rope, doormats, mattresses, car seats, and garden pots. The short fibers and the pith of the coconut used to be trash, but now they are being used as soil supplements. So Expand ‘n Gro™ is a green product also!
