A visit to Organic Mechanics

With a movement toward local and organic gardening, it seems only natural that organic potting soil would play a role. Enter Mark Highland and his company, Organic Mechanics, which produces earth-friendly, 100% organic potting soil. They offer several varieties of soil that are mixed right at their local site, and have clearly thought through the environmental impacts of their products. Their peat-free products leave peat bogs undamaged, and the compost they use as a component helps reduce local waste (and contains lots of nutrients!) Their delivery trucks and equipment run on bio-diesel from local sources. You can find Organic Mechanics potting soil at many retailers, or check them out online at http://www.organicmechanicsoil.com/index.html .
