What Results Have You Seen with Holganix Products on Flowers?
“I love knowing that if there is a sharp change in the weather, I can rely on the Bio 800+ to act as a buffer and help strengthen and protect the plants,” explains Kent Daniels. In addition to increasing plant strength in the face of an environmental stressor like weather, he also reports seeing “huge root growth”, and an overall incredibly full-plant despite reductions in watering needs.
Kent began managing his local town’s flower stations about three years ago. “I care for 43 stations of flowers, 20 of which are hanging baskets,” says Kent. “I take pride in being able to walk down the streets and knowing that all of these flowers help make the town beautiful.”
According to Kent, he uses Holganix Bio 800+ religiously, going out about every other week until mid-July. “By mid-July, I start applying Holganix Bio 800+ each time I water the plants, which is about every other day,” explains Kent.
What is Your Background?
“When I was little, my mom was passionate about gardening and composting. I always grew up around that and really attribute her passion for why I’m in the green industry today,” says Kent. Kent has been providing lawn care services to the Oklahoma market since high school. Seven years ago, he decided to make his business a full-time occupation, and Daniel Lawn Care was born.
“At Daniel Lawn Care, my goal is to nurture a beautiful lawn, using minimal chemicals,” explains Kent. “I believe that the green industry needs to work towards reducing our chemical footprint. While as an industry, we still have a way to go before seeing that vision, with new technology like Holganix, we are starting to make progress towards a greener green industry.”
