A growing segment of consumers were just starting to understand the consequences of the disposable culture beginning to develop a stronghold on American society and were looking for alternatives to plastic, Styrofoam and other synthetic materials. Demand for goods produced from naturally derived materials such as bamboo, cotton, hemp, glass and ceramics motivated the originators to establish Down To Earth as a foundation in the alternative retail marketplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis demand, fueled by the “be natural” approach, was further extended into the production of food and fiber by the growing consumer interest in health and nutrition and a renewed awareness of conservation and environmental issues. The burgeoning organic movement, largely started on the west coast in places such as Santa Cruz, Eugene, Philomath, and Bellingham, was being driven by consumer demand and served as the catalyst for the establishment of new organic farms and markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese organic farmers, as a new consumer group unto themselves, were looking for seeds, fertilizers, tools, and information to enable them to produce organic food for local communities and a small but growing national audience. The need for organic inputs of all types including manures, byproduct commodities and agricultural minerals influenced the direction of Down To Earth to now also serve their local market as a supplier of these fertilizer materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlash forward nearly fifty years and Down To Earth has established itself as one of the country’s leading manufacturers of natural and organic fertilizers and premium organic inputs designed for use in gardens, small farms and specialty horticulture. Our products are used by home gardeners, commercial growers, nurseries and garden centers, both conventional and organic, who want an alternative to modern chemical fertilizers and soil additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDown To Earth offers a full assortment of convenient fertilizer blends, carefully crafted from select plant nutrient resources and formulated for either specific plant groups, like our Acid Mix for blueberries, or for seasonal garden tasks, like our Starter Mix. Our flagship All Purpose mix is a premium blend of traditional organic materials including many of the original materials first distributed by Down To Earth: blood meal, rock phosphate, greensand and kelp meal. Down to Earth utilizes a specially processed fish bone meal, sourced in the Pacific Northwest, as the base of all of its proprietary blended fertilizers. As a byproduct of wild harvested fish caught for human consumption, we are able to redirect voluminous amounts of this material into a beneficial ingredient used to feed the soils of organic gardeners. Our very popular Bio-Live fertilizer uses not only this fish bone meal but also regionally sourced crab meal and shrimp meal to provide a wide range of nutrients only found in marine byproducts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDown To Earth also offers a wide range of single ingredient fertilizers. From traditional organics and marine byproducts to unique and specialty ingredients, we have the most diverse selection of natural and organic fertilizers for home gardeners, hobby growers and backyard farmers available.
