Quote about Ready Go Garden Bag and Concentrated Soil Amendments:
“I think it'll be tremendous for the kids. They learn a lot about agriculture, in their way, growing their own products. And so for the kids, I think it's a fantastic opportunity. And the thing about the bag is that they don't have to add a lot of different fertilizers and stuff because the bag has that in it. They just have to be watching the water and that makes farming easy.”

It mobilizes water and nutrients in our soil and delivers that water nutrient to our crops so it is the best way for us to manage climate changes and environmental stress.
