Forterra Environmental Making its Organic Soil-Enrichment Products Available
to Weed Man Franchises
PUSLINCH, ON,
"In 2009, we successfully carried out trials with several Weed Man franchises," said
"We were very pleased with the interest shown at the convention by many of Weed Man's Canadian and U.S. franchisees in our products. We have agreed to make our granulated and pelletized worm castings products, and granulated worm castings bridged with slow-release nitrogen readily available for purchase by Weed Man franchises,"
"The feedback that we have received is that Forterra's products are a natural fit with Weed Man's Nature's Touch(R) exclusive line of organic-focused lawn-care solutions. We expect to work with franchises of Weed Man to support their annual marketing campaigns, including providing sample packets of pelletized castings for distribution to their existing and potential lawn-care customers. We also will continue working with Weed Man on further product development and marketing initiatives to help to meet their customers' needs,"

About Forterra Environmental Corp.
Forterra manufactures, markets, and sells environmentally friendly soil enhancers, using worm castings, which boost fertility while restoring the soil with organic matter for sustainable, longer-term benefits, including stronger root growth, and drought and pest resistance. Forterra products contain only organic material. They are ideal for golf courses, sports fields, lawn care, parks, nurseries, orchards, and vineyards. Essentially, Forterra uses red wriggler worms to convert organic material into vermicompost or worm castings. Worm castings contain micronutrients, which are required for healthy plant development. Worm castings also contain microbes, which increase the rate at which plants take up available macronutrients and micronutrients. Further information is available on the company's website at www.forterra.com.
