Thanks, High Caliper Team!

With 2013 upon us, I would like to salute our fine sales reps here at High Caliper Growing. Everyone knows Dustin Fraser on the West Coast, and Tim and Jessey who have been tearing it up outside the West Coast. Having traveled to four countries, 27 states and visiting nearly 700 stores, these two have logged thousands of hours across the globe, spreading the good word about Smart Pots, making lasting relationships with retail customers, supporting our distributors, attending store events and tradeshows and handing out samples. It’s needless to say Tim and Jessey get around and 2013 will be no exception; these guys will be back on the road passing out more samples and seeing more shops. Next time you see them in your neck of the woods, ask them for a free shirt and tell them to buy you a beer!

Everyone knows OASIS® Grower Solutions (OGS) has a full line of hydroponic growing media, but many might not realize it has nearly 50 years of propagation history behind it (which makes OGS one of the most proven hydroponic growing mediums on the market today).

Black Gold, a Sun Gro Horticulture product-line, built its reputation on trusted all-organic potting soils, fertilizers and soil amendments. "We are dedicated to creating products that help our customers easily grow organic food in every American backyard," says Blair Busenbark, National Marketing Manager at Sun Gro Horticulture. "The problem is that non-profit organizations also need quality soil products for their organic food gardening programs, so we decided to help them out."

As Black Gold transitions to new packaging and finalizes its line for the 2013 gardening season, some products must be phased out. Rather than selling to a discounter, Busenbark opted for a more philanthropic solution: to donate these valuable organic soil building materials to non-profit organizations that promote sustainable gardening.

Many of these carefully blended fertilizers and other Black Gold products are OMRI listed, and such independently verified organic soil amendments are rarely seen in the budget-minded gardening endeavors of non-profits. The value of quality organic soil building products cannot be overstated, and such donations are sure to increase yields of healthy food in the 2013 gardening season to come.
