First up, our favorite fish fertilizer commercial:
Isn’t Ann the best? Don’t you want to hang out with her? Well, we did, and you can listen!
This week on The Good Dirt:
How do we nurture our plants and gardens with the best, most sustainable fertilizer around? One family’s quest for sustainability in their business led to the creation of Neptune’s Harvest, a full line of organic fertilizers that utilizes a by- product of the seafood industry. On today’s episode, we spoke with with Ann Molloy from this 5th generation family-run company in Gloucester, MA. We learn about the rich heritage of Gloucester in the fishing industry and how Neptune’s Harvest evolved from the family’s seafood business, pioneering a variety of organic fertilizers so that all parts of the harvested fish are used and not disposed of as waste. We also learn about Ann's personal journey from an art student who traveled with the Grateful Dead, to her pivotal role in marketing and sales at Neptune's Harvest. If you’re wondering what is so special about fish fertilizer, Ann shares all of the benefits that we can expect from Neptune’s Harvest and her favorite products.
This was a fun one about family, business, and science to help our plants grow.
Get ready to make some good dirt!
