Green Smoothies for Health

We have all joined the green smoothie challenge (www.greensmoothiechallenge.org) as we have found that blending greens with fruits is a great way to get the nutrient we need into our diet. The health benefits are amazing and many people around the globe are joining in. There are some amazing testimonials from people with diabetes.

A new movement is starting in the USA entitled "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" (www.fatsickandnearlydead.com) which is inspiring a lot of people to embrace their health by utilising the green smoothie concept.

We can all go out and buy greens from the supermarket but there is nothing like growing your own organic veggies and being able to pick these fresh and blend them up straight away. By doing this the health benefits are amplified greatly.

This picture is our staff drinking their morning green smoothies with our good friend Ella Moon (www.luminairehouse.com.au) who enjoyed her ezyGrow so much that she made a painting called "ezyGrow World". We were so impressed we had to purchase the painting which now sits proudly in our office.

The ezyGrow planters are perfect for achieving this goal and will do so for a very long time. We believe 4 - 6 planters will grow all the greens you will need to get and stay healthy.

We are also now selling the Vita-Mix Blender. This is a very powerful blender that breaks the greens down to a creamy consistency that makes it easy to assimilate.

The Vita-Mix is not a cheap product and is more than just a blender. You can make healthy nutritious soups, snacks and deserts. This machine has a 2HP electric motor that is powerful enough to grind grains into flour.

You can purchase the Vita-Mix from us by clicking here.

We are putting together a package with a number of ezyGrow planters and a Vita-Mix. This will ensure you and your family will be kept in good health for a long time to come.

Nambour Show - Water Chestnuts

The second show we went to last year with our ezyGrow Garden was at the Queensland Garden Show in Nambour.  We were quite overwhelmed with the great feedback we got on the product and the various reasons why people wanted one and what gardening issue they would overcome.

One particularly was elderly gentleman in a wheel chair who bought a black ezyGrow planter as he really wanted to grow water chestnuts, which during the growing process need to be flooded.

I was so excited and thrilled when this year he came rolling up to me again at the Nambour Garden show with a picture of his success - with a big smile he told me how with only three plants he now had enough water chestnuts to last him a year, that the product had worked a treat - he had simply extended the hose so that the overflow was higher allowing him to flood the plants when he needed to.

One of the greatest pleasures I have when I go to shows is having people come and tell me their ezyGrow garden stories.  We had heaps at Nambour and I really feel our product is making a difference, helping people grow when they couldn't before.

Wheels for your ezyGrow

We have been looking for a way to make the ezyGrow Planter mobile. Many of our customers have asked for wheels for the planters so they can move them around. We have now come up with a simple way that we can do this through the use of small caster wheels with brakes. We will be making these available as a pack very soon.
The caster wheels just screw on to the bottom of the legs of the ezyGrow planter. They are sturdy and will hold the weight of your garden when it is full. Although we have tested these and they are fine we need to mention a word of caution when using these on your garden.

Barry's Garden

Barry Davies, owner of ezyGrow Pty Ltd, has started a page showcasing his experiences with the ezyGrow Planters.

Barry has a number of planters around his home and in this picture says; "If your garden doesn't look like this then you need to be feeding it more".

A proponent of organic gardening Barry has trialed a number of different products. From Seasol and Power Feed to Organic Link and Triple Boost. "The key to good healthy herbs and vegies is to feed them well" says Barry.

Barry has also trialed differnt growing mediums. "A premium potting mix is advisable, they may cost a little extra but the benefits outweigh the few extra dollars you will spend". Barry has also experimented with some of the new tightly compressed Coir blocks on the market. "Although a great medium they also need a fair amount of added minerals and liquid fertiliser to get the plants going" Barry explains.

Keep an eye on the "Barry's Garden" page on the ezyGrow website for more experiment results.

Lyndhurst Childcare Approves

Receintly the Lyndhurst Childcare Centres in Brisbane and Canberra purchased six ezyGrow Planters each. The planters are used as educational aids for the children to learn with.

They are great as the children can all gather around the planters and they are at the right height for them to see into the gardens. They are clean and easy to move around and can be an addition to green space required for accreditation.
