Everyone agrees we should be using less chemicals and pesticides, although that is true across the board, it is especially true for our vegetables, fruits and herbs. We consume these foods on a daily basis, or at least we should. The reason why the victory garden and food based gardening has become so popular is because we are not happy with the quality of food at the grocery stores and we have realized we can do it better ourselves. There's no better way to grow the crops that end up on your table for dinner, than with OceanGrown's OceanSolution. Better taste, better quality, better value, and no harmful products.

Benefits of using the OceanSolution Program

The OceanSolution Program can provide cost savings over your current fertilizer program by cutting back on the NPK Fertilizer use by up to ½ the first year alone. The OceanSolution Program can save up to 1/3 over your existing fertilizer program, depending upon specific crop and geographic location. There is also an additional savings by cutting out money allocated for fungicide and pesticides in most circumstances.

Spray and Play - there is no mask and gloves required; it is a true Green Program. The OceanSolution Program is non-toxic and therefore no toxic runoff or related hypoxia issues it is a true Green Program. This is a huge benefit for farming given the current EPA move to set limits on Fertilizer Pollution (read article), along with the push in Congress to pass the Clean Water Restoration Act (read article).

OceanSolution requires no special equipment for application and can be used with all existing farm equipment.

The OceanSolution Program contains all 90 Elements, providing the full spectrum of elements available to the plant/crop, thereby allowing it to uptake the specific elements required to realize the plant/crop full potential for growth, health and nutritional value. There are also 2 naturally occurring Aerobic Bacteria – Azobacter and Nitrobacter in OceanSolution, which are capable of fixing 40 Lbs. of Nitrogen per acre (per year), which allow an initial 50% reduction for any required NPK Fertilizer.

The OceanSolution Program re-mineralizes the soil, strengthens the root system of the crop, thereby increasing Carbon Sequestration and making the crop healthier and able to withstand the stress associated with disease and weather, including extreme temperature and water variations. OceanSolution fulfills the Genetic Elemental Uptake Permission (GEUP) for minerals for each individual crop, thereby producing maximum grain size and optimum taste.

The OceanSolution Program can provide 10 to 20% and sometimes higher Yields for crops, depending on specific crop and geographic location.

The OceanSolution Program enables the ability to help manage input costs, through consistent pricing, thereby avoiding the fluctuating costs of most fertilizer programs.

The OceanSolution Program increases the maximum shelf life for vegetables, fruits and nuts by 50 – 100%. Healthy Crops and Produce that are filled with all the Elements that their specific Genetic Elemental Uptake Permission (GEUP) requires stay fresh longer than standard NPK program crops and produce.

What are the names of all the identified elements in OceanSolution®?
See our comprehensive chart that lists all of the elements in OceanSolution®.

I am planting a vegetable garden and was wondering how much I need to apply, we are just getting ready to dig up the soil and put in the water lines. Should I spray the soil now or wait until I plant?
It is best to apply the OceanSolution® mix (1 part per 100) as close to the roots as possible at planting time. Because OceanSolution® is in an inorganic form it will not need to first be broken down by the microbes in the soil, OceanSolution® is readily available for the plants to assimilate. Unlike organic nutrients that plants cannot utilize until they are broken down into an inorganic form.

"Dear OceanGrown: My name is Jewel Graves and I have had our Muscadine Grapevine for over 20 years in our backyard and every season it gives us as much as we can eat of the grapes. My grandson had given me some OceanGrown Solution for Christmas last year and so I tried it for the upcoming season on the grape vine. After a couple of weeks I noticed the grapes were coming in early and they also were rapidly growing in numbers. By the time I finished the OceanGrown treatment, the yield this year was double than any other in 20+ years. I was truly amazed by the results of OceanGrown Solution.

There was another thing that really struck me about the plant this year; every time the grapes will come to surface the plant would drop them on the ground right when they were ripe. After the OG treatment, the grapes had stayed on the plant and didn’t drop! I’m guessing because the plant got all the nutrients the Grapevine got stronger and healthier. Now this is the kind of results you want to see in your plants and fruits.

I’m 76 yrs of age and a lot has changed since I was a kid and the taste of fruits and vegetables have dramatically dropped. Seeing the results of OceanSolution, I think that will make every plant and every human healthier if they use this product. I’m sold and everyone I talk to is amazed at the progress and happy to back off the chemicals that we use today. Thanks OceanGrown for supplying me with a little taste of when I was young."

"I have been growing Killarny Raspberries organically for about 12 years. They are heavy producers with big berries to begin with but this time something very special is happening. A couple of weeks ago I foliar sprayed three canes plus dumped about a quart of 100:1 dilution of OceanSolution on them. Theses raspberries have the most blossoms I have ever seen. There are many branches coming off the main stem just loaded. Just for fun I counted the clusters on two of the canes and counted the blossoms in a cluster. There are 33 clusters on one cane and 42 on another. There is an average of 8 blossoms per clusters. I am going to get hundred of raspberries off these two canes. I have never seen anything like this. This makes me want to grow raspberries on a larger scale.

The raspberry canes I did not fertilize with OceanSolution look normal as they did in other years. I'm glad I didn't fertilize them all so I have something to compare. Everybody I have shown is amazed. The difference is more obvious that a train wreck!

It won't be long and I'll see what my mulberry tree is going to do. It is loaded with mulberries this year. I am going to see if the OceanSolution will make the berries grow bigger. As with any tree the more fruit the smaller they are usually. I am hoping to more fruit and larger at the same time. Am i asking too much?"

"I purchased 5 corn plants from the garden center at Wal-Mart, the corn measured 4 inch's in height when purchased.

Soil condition --- Hard pack clay and very dry dirt at time of planting. Time frame of transplant-- 4/20/2009 with standard potting soil with no additives (No NPK)

I applied OceanSolution to 2 of the 5 plants one week after transplant 4/27/2009, and started seeing results within 5 days. I water them the same every other day.

It is now approximately one month later and, just to give a height example, I am 6'4 and the OceanSolution corn is as tall as my rib cage and the non OceanSolution corn is only at knee height."

"I picked out green beans of my garden this morning. You are looking at about 2-1/2 lbs. They were planted from seed 60 days ago. I have a couple of rows in my back yard, pretty much beach sand. I have been told that beans like new soil, they must. These are sprayed every two weeks with OceanGrown's OceanSolution fertilizer replacement. They really taste great."

"I grow barley to cultivate the grass at about 10 days. I was using OceanGrown on some of my tomato and lettuce plants as well as my commercial barley trays. The growth was fantastic and the fruiting was abundant and early. This I expected but what really interested me was that I had thrown a handful of barley seeds into a ten inch pot and let it grow long after I would have harvested in a tray. My intention was to see if it would grow to seed as I have had very little luck in getting cereal grasses such as wheat and barley to seed in a ten inch pot. You can guess that it did and quite quickly. I harvested the seed this winter and will grow a second generation this spring on OceanSolution. In examining the seed, it was darker and irregular compared to the uniform size and shape and light tan color of the planted seed. It looked more like Kamut but not as big. My hypothesis is that in a couple generations of perfect nutrition from OceanSolution, this barley will return to its genetic best. My goal through OceanGrown is to create a seed stock that is at its genetic best to absorb all the nutrients and therefore be able to deliver them through the juice of the barleygrass."

"This is the first time ever that I tell people how good a product works. We just moved a year ago from Florida to Waco,Texas. We bought the house with a big garden in the summer of 2007. I noticed back then that a bunch of bananas was growing in the back, about 2 feet high. They still were the same height when we moved in, in the spring of 2008 and then they froze down to the ground. My new neighbors told me that they have never seen them any taller than that for years. Also some Palm Trees that didn't look to good. With all the work of moving I didn't have much time to work in the garden that spring and take care of things, but I did use some left over OceanSolution that I previously used with much success in Florida. I just put it in a bottle sprayer and mixed about an ounce of it with water and went around the garden and sprayed it on anything that was coming out of the ground and on the trunks of trees. I did that again two months later. The only other thing I used on the bananas was a bag of composted chicken manure. All summer long we were remodeling the house and everyone kept on asking what kind of plant was growing in the back. Our bananas had grown to about 10ft high and very bushey, also all the palm trees had so many new leaves we had to trim them several times during the growing season. This year, as soon as I receive the new order I will spray OceanSolution on every inch of our 1/2 acre lot and I will have the best looking flowers and garden, just like we did in Florida."

"The over use of land without mineral replacement has been a personal pet peeve of mine. As a nurse, I know the importance of lack of nutrients in the body. Owning land, I know the importance of getting nutrients into soil. Several years ago I borrowed a book from my chiropractor's library. It was Dr.Murray's story. I researched the subject more and decided to try OceanGrown solution on my produce garden. I had excellent results. Abundant crops grew. I had a decrease in weeds,spoilage,and nasty bugs. I had increased crops. I sold and gave away all I could and still had more. Vegetables kept longer without spoilage. I rotated my garden to a different plot and started over. My husband put in a hay field utilizing the garden site and adjoining land. The difference in nutriton became obvious as the hay began to grow. The land with several years of proper nutrients had fewer weeds. We continue to use OceanGrown solution. I mix it with my potting soil and also apply it to my garden. It is applied to our hay fields to provide nutrition needed for animals and ultimately people."

"Before the spring of 2006:

The property is located in Rancho Santa Fe, California (San Diego Area). The botanical garden (lawn, palms, trees, potted plants, citrus trees, flowers) is an on going project and a continuous enhancement to the property.

The organic garden, which consists of five raised beds (6' x 12'), was started in 2003 and is really the reason why I am writing this testimonial. Let me first tell you a little about our raised beds:

The soil: Organic formula topped by 2 inches of worm casting and organic compost.

The irrigation system: 8 sprinklers per bed with independent valves connected through food grade PVC pipes to a DOsatron injection box, which dispenses a liquid organic nutrient called Biolink 333.

The seeds: Organic seeds, mostly heirloom, from Seeds of Change.

It seemed like all the perfect ingredients for a successful garden. It was a good harvest with some crops better than others in spite of the pests that we controlled, as you may have guessed, without chemical pesticide or any other kind of poisons.

Spring 2006, and after:

It is not until we discovered OceanSolution Formula that we realized what real potential this gardening adventure had. We hooked the concentrated solution to our Dosatron system (at a 100 to one ratio) and started watering the beds this spring and noticed some incredible changes right away such as:

After turning the soil in each bed (post harvest), I could not find a single cut worm, where before the beds were full of them.

The quality of the soil itself improved - the color was deeper, richer and looked healthier.

The best news was - practically no bugs! Using OceanSolution resulted in healthier veggies, growing to their full potential and tasting even better.

Fruit trees (citrus) - Seem to have twice the amount of fruits - again No Bugs!

Flowers - Roses, hydrangeas and impatients increased in growth --- with the hydrangeas blooms tripling this year. And, after cutting, by placing the cut flowers in holding vases containing the same ratio of clean water to OceanSolution as was used to feed them while they were growing (100 parts clean water to 1 part OceanSolution), they stayed fresh-looking up to twice as long as the same variety cut flowers that had been grown without OceanSolution. The 'holding vase mix' was changed once every other day.

Potted Plants - Fuller and greener.

Palm Trees - after watering a practically dead palm tree for 3 weeks, I was able to revive it and transplant it successfully.

We are just beginning our fall planting and we will be experimenting with different dilution ratios to see whether certain crops prefer more or less of the OceanSolution. But either way, there is no doubt in our minds that OceanSolution far exceeds any other option that one may have to achieve the best results."

Letter to Mr. Colonel V. Doner
Chairman of the Board
Children's Hunger Relief Fund

Dear Colonel:

It has been more that 2 years since receiving the two barrels of "OceanGrown" (OceanSolution®), and I began experimenting with them. In Nicaragua we only have two seasons, our rainy season, which lasts 6 months and our non-rainy season, which lasts 6 months. For this reason there has been a delay with the experimenting we had begun on the grass we use to feed the cattle as well as with the fruit trees. After experimenting 8 months, we were able to verify the following results regarding the oranges, avocados and cattle grass:

Phase1:

- The fruit trees produced much more fruit.

- The cattle that ate the grass fertilized with OceanGrown (OceanSolution®), experienced faster growth and weight gain.

Phase 2:

After analyzing the chemical make up of OceanGrown over duration of 6 months, with the help of a technician that has been working with us, we decided to begin a project using Hydroponics. After much experimenting we were able to verify that the first step would be to extract the juices from the best grasses; Signal and Sorghum Grass.

May God bless you,

Sincerely,

Lic. Mario José Avilé Sáenz

"To OceanGrown Mineral Rich -

In 65 years of farming all types - animals, vegetables, fruit, grain, etc. - am fully convinced that complete balance is the ultimate in nutrition for all. As early as 1936, Dr. (Charles) Northern proved it in Orlando, Florida.. Read article 'Modern Miracle Men'; an article by Rex Beach, Senate Document 264.

In late part of 2003 became aware of OceanSolution and a way we could apply it to our soil so as to grow better food.. I sprayed it over the orchard soil; also to the foliage in separate areas.

This year I am amazed as to definite improvement in color, flavor, and ability to not drop off tree until fully ripe. The leaves were so much better even to freeze-up time.

I am definitely going to keep using OceanGrown's (OceanSolution)."

Dear Sir or Madam:
As someone who successfully oversaw greenhouse projects in a large public university (greenhouse), my use of OceanGrown brand solution put many horticultural experiments over the top. Utilizing proper controlled practice methodology, I can forcefully attest to its ability as a superior fertilizer. For example our green rubber plants grew at least twice the rate of control, with much larger leaves and whose coloring developed a rich green.

I would recommend this product to professionals and amateurs alike. Test and be convinced.

Yours with enthusiasm,
G. Korvne

From: A. Newhouse (California)

Dear OceanGrown Team,

We did a 1/2 acre garden for the first time this year and our Sweet Keeper squash averaged 12 to 23 lbs. in size with excellent taste and color. Typically these are 8 to 10 lbs. in size.

We are also trying it in our Hydroponics system and so far it seems the salad greens are greener, tastier and hardier than in commercial hydroponics solution. We did have to add KNO3 it seems as we are using Fl seeds. It was a mix up as the source was thought to be a heritage store.

Thank You!

From: J. Lack (Canada)

Now that the weather is lousy, I thought I would write to you with some of my experiences with the OceanGrown solution I bought earlier last year.

We are a mixed farm, certified organic of some 28 acres in southern British Columbia, growing some 37 crops on a seasonal basis - anything from asparagus to zucchini. We grow in the field and in 2 unheated greenhouses (5,400 sq ft.).

All crops in the greenhouse (except spinach) are grown from transplants, and all crops for the field are direct sown. We are low tech, hands on people, and the farm is worked by my wife and myself and we make a good living.

I make no pretence at being a scientist, and the reason for trying OceanGrown solution is that it just seemed 'correct'. I was brought up in the Far East, and subject to typhoons (hurricanes to you) and always the best crops in the low lying areas were always planted after an inundation by storm surge.

So we tried it on a few things this year:

Lettuce:
We grow lettuce in the spring and early summer - about 5,000. We've done the same for a few years so we knew that the optimum trans-planting / seeding schedule for us was 25 days. We use 128 cell trays with soil less organic mix and surface sow seeds, spray misting them to ensure contact with the damp soil.. Each tray is covered by a clear plastic dome and placed under lights with temperature of 60n/70d. This year we decided to use Ocean Solution - both to moisten the soil and to mist the seeds. We were screwed!. The seeds surface germinated in 18 to 24 hours, a day quicker than normal, and we had to transplant in 14 to 16 days. This allowed us to grow one extra crop of lettuces this spring. However, maybe a stress health warning on the bottle would be advisable, as we had to completely reschedule our planting program on the fly this year. In addition, all plants were drip irrigated and every 2 weeks OceanGrown was applied. We used the same seed as the previous year, and we definitely noticed an increase in marketable heads (4.9%), an increase in average head weight (3.1oz.), and a "cleaner" fresher taste. Bug damage was the same - maybe slightly less. Question: Would we use it again on this crop? Yes, the benefit was direct to our pocket to the tune of an extra $327 over the previous year in a year that had far worse growing conditions.

Spinach:
We grow spinach for bagged leaf (about 8,000 bags) and a small amount for bunches. We tried OceanGrown on some of the spinach grown for leaf in the greenhouse this year. The variety was Tyee and it was direct sown 4 inches apart, 3 lines to a bed 14" wide, 95 ft long. All beds (5) were direct sown on the same day, all were drip irrigated and one bed in the middle was given OceanGrown at double concentration by watering can. Every 2 weeks we did the same. The OGT (OceanGrown Tyee) appeared above ground 3 days prior to the other 4 beds. We picked the OCT bed 10 days prior to the others. The other 4 beds were picked for leaf 3 times and the OGT bed 4 times before the plants started to show signs of bolting -interesting that they all started to bolt at the same time. Leaf yield per picking were similar so the extra picking for the OGT was 33%. (39.2 IBS.).

We also did the same for over wintered spinach - planted in October for picking (God willing) starting in February. Again the same seed, OceanGrown put down at planting on one bed, irrigated one in November, and not touched since. We grow without heat so we expect about 20% winter kill (this is Southern B.C.). To day is the 12th January. We have 4 beds with about a 5% winter kill (It's been a bit warmer this year), and the rest of the plants looking as we would expect them at this stage. However, the OGT bed requires picking and is being picked today, right in the middle of our one month off a year. Question: Will we use it again this year? Absolutely yes.... and all plants that have over wintered will be converted to OceanGrown plants as soon as I can put the stuff down.

I was going to write about Radishes and Broccoli as well and the small test I did on the sheep pasture, but I've got to go and pick Spinach.

From: Dane and Kip Scofield

Dear OceanGrown,
Dane and I wanted to personally thank you for giving us some valuable insight on plant physiology and nutrition. We, being among the brainwashed in traditional, conventional and commercial methodologies of plant health, have benefited greatly from the knowledge you have generously shared with us. It is quite an amazing thing to be in the citrus business for over 30 years and not be aware of the quickest and healthiest way to grow a citrus tree. By taking your advice and following your instructions, we achieved some fantastic results.

OceanSolution wins my vote as the best plant nutrient provider yet! It gets the job done with minimum effort - requiring one part solution to 100 parts water; so a little goes a long way, making it cost effective. It is organic in nature, so there are no harmful chemical effects. It is clear and odorless; there is no fishy smell, which I have experienced with other sea nutrients. It contains nature's 92 elements, allowing plants to choose the ones they need.
I use OceanSolution to grow plants with and without soil. I am secure in the knowledge that my plants grow in a healthy, balanced environment, conductive to minimizing the possibility of bug attacks. Healthy plants stand a better chance of surviving infestation from disease and insect invasion. A good analogy is that of healthy human body cells; cancer and other diseases are not likely to thrive under homeostatic conditions. Well, bugs are not apt to ravage a healthy garden.

My garden includes a beautiful variety of greens, herbs, mints, peppers, tomatoes, and peas. What a wonderful feeling it is to pick and eat food fro my back yard, and how reassuring it is to consume such delicious bounty without fear of ingesting dangerous pesticides.

Although I grow the aforementioned plants with soil, I prefer to grow wheatgrass hydroponically. For years I had a love/hate relationship with wheatgrass juice. I knew it's beneficial value; I even wrote about it in my first booklet "Journey to Health". Nevertheless, when drinking it I abhorred the nauseating, heaving sensation that lingered, especially when burping. As a result, I seldom drank it.

On the other hand, in addition to enhancing the flavor of the juice, OceanSolution also eliminates the repulsive after taste. OceanSolution has shown me that all wheatgrass juice is not equal. I now enjoy at least an ounce a day.

Also, I am confident that the quality of crops from the new fruit trees that I have planted will be just as impressive since they, too, are drinking in nourishment from OceanSolution.

Dear OceanGrown,
I am excited about the potential for growth for OceanGrown. The "new growth" on those old YTD (young tree decline) sick trees represents a reversal at the tissue level. This is a positive sign for the citrus grower. Perhaps your treatment could be used just as well on other food crops, e.g., to retard insect infestation also. A vigorous tree or plant is definitely more resistant than less healthy plants.

Good nutrition = good thoughts = more peace.

Dear OceanGrown:
After first having met you and your partners, I have become more convinced each time I deal with your products that they are superior to anything I have experienced. As you know, I have built a business with Carmichael's Gourmet Restaurant in Sarasota as chef and co-owner over the past four years, and I have attended numerous national and international food shows. With continuous exposure to various qualities of food, and having won the National Gourmet Chef competition last year, I feel my evaluation of superior food products is of some merit. With many years in this business, I say without hesitation that your herbs and vegetables are the best in quality, taste, appearance and shelf life of any that I have ever seen. Your method of growing food in ocean water is so unique and ecologically sound.

Sincerely,
