Update from Miami Metro Zoo - November 24th, 2009
"Sean and his crew have been using Ocean Solution on their vegetable garden, getting great results. He's been able to provide the zoo kitchen with fresh produce on a regular basis reducing purchases. I've also been using it on landscape materials and recently planted annuals throughout the zoo with beneficial affects. One of the samples you gave us initially I've been using on my interior foliage at home and the condition of the plants is excellent." - Tom Trump

Update from Juliana Trigoso
Friday at the Zoo was a great success. John Hartman and I met with Tom Trump and his staff.
Sean and Don will be leading up the OceanGrown project. Don will be applying it to their fruit, vegetable, fodder and specialty food gardens. Which, up until OceanSolution, the vets had not permitted the use of any products to be used. “The farm is struggling with caterpillars, especially,” said Don. Hartman explained, “Unhealthy plants are especially vulnerable to pests, OceanSolution will help to fortify your plants from the inside out, and that should help keep the caterpillars at bay.”
Sean will be using OceanSolution on the landscaping plants. Sean was telling John Hartman, that applying anything to the landscaping is a bit tricky for a few reasons. First, the animals have to be moved away from the area during application and then returned, which is not only labor intensive but also takes staff coordination. Second, some areas were not ever permitted to be treated due to the sensitivity of the animals nearby. Furthermore, the areas being treated were still having some major plant health issues. Thanks to OceanGrown, now the application of Plant Nutrients will be a cinch. “No more having to relocate animals or starving plants because you fear harming the wildlife,” said Hartman.
We will be checking back in with the Miami Metro Zoo soon and we will keep everyone posted!
Miami Metro Zoo & OceanGrown
The Miami Metro Zoo is the newest member of the OceanGrown family. On September 12, 2009 Miami Metro Zoo received their first 275 Gallon donation of OceanSolution. Juliana Trigoso and John Hartman, CEO of OceanGrown, made a special trip down to Miami Metro Zoo to help set up their personalized program and demonstrate for Tom Trump and his staff the most effective way to use OceanSolution.
