Advanced Soil Science makes ZeoPro available to retail nurseries and garden centers throughout the United States
The Space Foundation announced today that ZeoPro ™ from ZeoponiX, Inc., is officially recognized as a Certified Space Technology. ZeoPro is a combination growth medium, fertilizer, and soil amendment that enhances plant growth because of its patented nutrient delivery system. One of its primary ingredients is a slow release form of phosphorous and other key elements developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). ZeoPro is available to individuals exclusively from Advanced Soil Science at retail nurseries and garden centers and through Internet and catalog companies.
“The Space Foundation is pleased to certify ZeoPro,” said Kevin Cook, director of Space Technology Awareness for the Space Foundation. “ZeoponiX and distributor Advanced Soil Science are working to make the benefits of this environmentally-friendly technology available to every gardener.”
NASA developed a new kind of growth media for plants (called zeoponic materials) that carries within itself the nutrients needed by plants and provides those nutrients in a very efficient manner. ZeoponiX holds exclusive rights to the NASA patents and further developed the technology in ZeoPro, an ecologically friendly product that enables indoor and outdoor plants to determine when they need nutrition, delivering a balanced diet of slow released plant nutrients.
ZeoponiX is working closely with Advanced Soil Science to make ZeoPro available to everyone who wants to make their home greenhouse, houseplant, flower bed, vegetable garden, or lawn grow vigorously. ZeoPro uses essential plant nutrients more efficiently with various soil structures, while being environmentally responsible. Advanced Soil Science is the exclusive distributor of ZeoPro to the thousands of gardeners, retail garden centers, Internet retail garden supply companies and other horticultural outlets within the United States, including in your local area.
