I bought a bag, but there isn't much info on it. you can contact them at hjifertilizers.com but you wont get much more information there.

Here is a note I wrote to them:

I am finding it difficult to access further information on the "organic" nature of your product. The packaging has the word Organic on it, but doesn't really say much more about product eco-friendliness (if that is a word). Your web site is also lacking in giving information to those of us self-educators. My hunch at this point is that Zoom is being marketed to eco friendly individuals as something it is not. Please prove me wrong by provinding additional facts about this product.

One huge problem with the biosolids industry/use is while there are levels that are monitored and enforced (much better now than in the past)...there's nothing keeping a farmer from using biosolids every year, or multiple times a year...and for many farmers the cheap nutrient additions far outweigh any other considerations as long as they're managing their runoff. Many plants don't care if there's excess metals in the soil...and the buildup isn't cared about by many farmers as long as they can get their crops to market without crop loss. When heavy rains leech these metals into water tables...or off the land (which is managed well)...or there's dry periods where the land gets airborne via wind...there's some environmental/health concerns going on. Responsible farmers (and home gardeners) are usually more caring about this...many farmers, especially commercial farmers, really don't care about this, though...it's a cheap source of high nutrients.

kittymoonbeam, thank you very much for the detailed information about this rose. That is very helpful! Pam, what a great idea to grow MEC over a ladder! I am glad to hear that you agree with kittymoonbeam that the disease resistance is improving with age. Jeri, thanks again for your input. I will follow kittymoonbeam's advice. I definitively will give this rose a shot in my garden. For me she is too beautiful to not trying to grow her. organic tosca, thanks for the book recommendation. I have heard got things about this book before, but never got it. Now I really have a reason :-). malcom manners, thanks for sharing your experience with MEC. Also thank you for the correction of the name. From now on it will be Mme. Ernest Calvat for me. Unfortunately I can't change the headline of the post anymore :-(. lori elf, thank you sooo... much for posting a photo and describing your experience with MEC. This rose looks so lovely in your garden. I really like the way you have trained her around the pillar! Christina Here is a link that might be useful: Organic Garden Dreams

I live in NE Tampa about 4 miles south of the Pasco County line. I planted my Royal Poinciana 15 years ago when it was a twig a few feet tall. Only once had it bloomed in the past, in 2006 it had just a few flowers. Every winter I would wrap the trunk with bath towels as high as I could reach when a freeze was predicted. I think it was in 2010 when we had multiple freezes, sometimes 3 nights in a row in the mid 20's and one night down to 22 degrees! That year I lost the only two large trunks that split as Y, and had to cut it back to green wood at about 6 feet high. It was very discouraging, but now the tree has a spread of at least 40 feet and is at least 20 feet tall. Since the freeze in 2010, each winter during a freeze I would put six tiki torches under the canopy about 5 feet from the trunk. The torches would burn for 8 hours, so I would watch the thermometer and light them when it hit 32. My neighbors probably think I am crazy, as I would be out there at 2 in the morning lighting them and then getting up at sunrise to make sure they were still lit. Well, the efforts have paid off as you see from my pictures. Last year I was sure it would bloom but I made the mistake of fertilizing it very heavy in the spring. I didn't know that this would counteract any flower blooming. So this year, being the 2nd year in a row without a substantial freeze, I didn't fertilize and it has blooms in all areas of the tree, mostly on the southern side. I guess because that side gets the most sun throughout the year. I travel a lot and I think I may have the northernmost mature flowering poinciana on the west coast of Florida. The only other northernmost tree I have seen is off of I-275 at Sligh, with others near downtown Tampa. I was hoping for more flowers, there are at least 10 areas of flower buds, but I am ecstatic with the results. There were actually more buds but my lawn company fertilized the yard and we got a heavy rain a few days later, then I noticed several buds turned yellow and fell off. Oh well. I think as the tree gets bigger the better the chances that it will survive forever unless we would get a super devastating freeze. Regarding roots, they are raised up out of the ground at least two feet from the trunk. The tree is about 20 feet from my pool patio and house, hopefully that is enough distance to keep any root damage from occurring.

I often tell people that eating fresh veggies grown with their own urine extends their personal health and good feeling. They look at me as if I am nuts. I explained that when I saw how well my urine worked I started drinking more water. I noticed that some plants are salt sensitive so I went on a low salt diet. I considered taking in micronutrient (vitamins and minerals) so that I would have a better quality of urine. This is a cheaper than going to the plant shop and buying chelated what ever. I decided to eat more greens and high potency vegetables and fruits. Fact is I am not joking I feel better and can do more ever since I took a ----------------------------------------------- PISS ON IT ATTITUDE.---------------------------------------------

I found two other sites. The first one looks more like an analysis, the second one looks more like a homepage.

...seems to indicate... that it is waste - derived? Perhaps sewage sludge? I dunno.

If a product does not have easily accessible information about what is in it, I would not use or buy it.

I used this stuff last year, and was pretty impressed by the way my garden revived. Here's the research I did about it:
http://agr.wa.gov/PestFert/Fertilizers/FertDB/prodinfo.aspx?pname=745
This is a breakdown of the trace mineral content; the organic 6-4-6 is derived from turkey manure, feather meal, and potassium sulfate.
Seems to be organic to me.

According the the picture of the box it has "Orgolife" in it, so it must be good!!!

Products that have potassium sulfate (also called sulfate of potash) turn me away. And how can something have potassium sulfate in it and not show any sulfur or potassium in the analysis?

Feather meal is okay if it is hydrolyzed feather meal. Straight feathers do not decompose quickly enough to see any benefit.

My company makes a poultry litter fertilizer called Mighty Grow Live. It is registered with WSDA and has an NPK of 4-5-5 with 4% Ca + 1% Mg + 0.9% S

Made in Fruitdale, Alabama, we anaerobically digest poultry litter, trace minerals and a microbial mix before air drying the mix, after which we bag the product into 20# & 40# bags.
