Deer Scram
Deer Scram deer and rabbit repellent was developed in northeast Pennsylvania, 10 miles from our offices, by one of our founders who is a farmer, a gardener, a landscaper, an outdoors man and avid hunter. After trying many commercial deer repellant products with little or no success, he began developing his own product for deer control. Utilizing his knowledge of science and agriculture, he focused on the habits, behavior and preferences of deer and experimented and tested various organic compounds he believed might deter their desire to even approach his plants. After years of trial and error, he hit on an all-natural, organic formula that met -- then exceeded -- his expectations.

Messenger® - EDEN Bioscience
EDEN has introduced Messenger®, a revolutionary product based on harpin protein technology that enhances a plant's own growth systems and natural defense mechanisms to ward off attacks by common diseases, insects and environmental stresses. Messenger, through its active ingredient, harpin Ea, simultaneously enhances a plant's own growth system and natural defense mechanisms to help ward off attacks by common diseases, insects and environmental stresses. When Messenger is applied to a plant, the plant foliar receptors recognize the presence of harpin Ea, sending a signal that a pathogen is present. This triggers the activation of the innate plant systems responsible for the enhancement of plant growth and insect and disease resistance.

Orcon
At Orcon, our goal is to provide all the tools a gardener needs to have a beautiful and healthy garden that is a safe place for our kids and pets. We want to work with Mother Nature...
All pests have natural enemies

Now we know that it is better to work with mother nature instead of against her. We know that almost all pests have natural enemies, which we usually call beneficial insects. Our role is to let them do their job and give them a little help when they need it. And the bad guys never build up a resistance to being eater!

A balance of good and bad bugs is natures way

It’s actually good to have some pest bugs around because they are the food source that attracts and keeps the beneficial bugs in the garden. Keeping a balance of good and bad bugs is the way that nature bas been doing it for millions of years. When thing get out of balance and we see our roses being eaten by a hoard of aphids, we bring the balance back by introducing some Green Lacewings or ladybugs.

shake-away Shake-Away

Liquid Gypsum
Gardeners, homeowners and landscapers of all interest levels all over the country strive to create the most optimal growing conditions for their lawn, groundcover and landscaping. Unfortunately, they're often stymied by poor soil conditions or irrigation restrictions which prevent good plant growth no matter what they do or which products they use. Now, there are real solutions. After years of research and testing, SOIL LOGIC introduces a unique line of environmentally friendly, non-toxic lawn and garden products to solve some of gardeners' most common challenges: Liquid "Gypsum" to improve soil and planting conditions; Drought Defense"! to reduce watering by up to half; and ReGreen"! to green-up lawn brown spots, including those caused by pets. Sodium, salts, clay, compaction, soggy spots, inadequate water drainage, soil erosion, reclaimed water or heavy thatch are common contributors to poor planting and growing conditions around the country. Liquid "Gypsum", a calcium chloride-based solution, quickly softens hard, compact and clay soils and removes salts from plant root zones. It is easier-to-use and works dramatically faster than traditional dry gypsum, does not require tilling and or leave a hard, white residue in the soil. In just a few days, Liquid "Gypsum" penetrates into soil and opens pore spaces, thus allowing air, water and nutrients to travel to the root level. The result is a healthy growing environment which allows roots to grow deeper, reduces dry spots, water run-off, erosion and heavy thatch, and drains soggy areas. Liquid "Gypsum" is easily applied with any type of garden or commercial sprayer and a one-quart bottle treats up to 1,000 square feet of turf or ground cover and is equivalent, in usable calcium, to 200 pounds of dry gypsum.

Water less Co. LLC.
Waterless Co. LLC No Ban on a Beautiful Lawn!!!! How It Works - A Hydretain molecule has the unique ability to attract, hold, and then transfer water molecules into plant roots. One end of the Hydretain molecule anchors itself to soil particles and root hairs coating their surface. The other end is available to "grab" free water molecules from humid circulating air, applied watering, rainfall, etc… Once Hydretain has "grabbed" a water molecule, it releases it into the plant's root throughout osmosis preventing it from being lost to evaporation or leaching. If the Hydretain molecule is too large to fit through the cell wall of the root, it is left behind where it is free to "grab" another water molecule. This process is repeated over and over again, continually supplying the plants with water.

Wiltpruf
Sixty years ago WILT-PRUF® was discovered and became the first anti-transpirant on the market. A product such as this was needed in horticulture to enable nurserymen to transplant shrubs and trees any time of year without fear of excessive transpiration which could cause plant failure.

Over the years, it was discovered that anti-transpirants had many additional but related uses -- protection against drying out when evergreen roots were frozen in wintertime, as well as during periods of drought. These times of stress deprive plants of their normal moisture intake. Anti-transpirants were found to be effective on cut Christmas trees, wreaths, and greens to retard needle drop by keeping existing moisture in the foliage. It was discovered that many indoor plants could survive longer periods without watering by treatment with an anti-transpirant. And ornamentals exposed to excessive warm or cold winds were protected from drying out by spraying with an anti-transpirant. Storage of tubers, bulbs, and bare root stock was more successful when they were first dipped in an anti-transpirant solution.
