I am the Senior Agronomist & Horticulturist for Nanak’s Landscaping, a company that maintains high end commercial properties. I was introduced to OceanSolution Mineralizer at Sand Pearl property, a four star Clearwater Beach resort. After 36 years in the industry I have never experienced such amazing results from one product. This property has been maintained without the use of traditional fertilizers and pesticides since adopting OceanSolution Mineralizer!
All the best,
Juan Alcaide

Best Lawn Care, a division of Best Termite and Pest Control Co. Inc. has been providing Lawn and Ornamental service programs to West central Florida families and businesses for over 31 years. Our goal at Best is to provide a safe, healthy and attractive landscape for our clients to enjoy. OceanSolution has fit very well into our program by allowing us to provide a more eco friendly, effective plant nourishment program. Since the implementation of OceanSolution we have experienced a noticeable improvement in the health and vigor of our turf, and the ornamentals seem to hold color much better. By using OceanSolution recuperative properties are enhanced when turf and ornamentals have suffered from adverse climate conditions along with other factors. I highly recommend OceanSolution to anyone who wishes to provide a safe and healthy landscape.
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 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 impatience 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.
I’m Bob Marino, Superintendent at Silverthorn Country Club. As a Superintendent, I try many new products in the pursuit of the “perfect” golf course. The most impressive new product I have used is OceanSolution. I was introduced to OceanSolution about a month ago. After just three applications, I am seeing amazing results. It’s hard to believe, but, even with the adverse weather conditions we have been experiencing lately, I have been able to improve and maintain the color of the greens as well as strengthen the root system. I am a true believer in OceanSolution and will continue to use it throughout the year. My recommendation to my peers . . . go “green” with OceanSolution!
To: OceanSolution
Nine months ago, in October 2009, I was introduced to OceanSolution at FNGLA’s Landscape Show in Orlando. I attended the annual show to gain knowledge on sustainability in the landscape industry. The product initially interested me because of its ability to go beyond traditional NPK fertilizers and provide plant nutrients at a scientifically proven percentage. Additionally, OceanSolution created a sustainable cycle extremely important to my business model.
The introduction of OS thoroughly impressed me and I quickly wanted to see the product in action. Several landscapers and horticulturists warned me that not using a granular fertilizer would put me out of business. Nothing was further from the truth. Experimenting on a couple yards in South Florida, I learned how to use and apply OS in several different aspects of the landscape. What started as an experiment turned into an integration of the product into my business and overall services. After bringing OceanSolution into my company, I was able to expand my maintenance services increasing residual income and value.
My overall experience with OceanSolution has been excellent. We use OS for lawn, ornamental plants, vegetable gardens, new landscape installations, container plants, and a couple palm species. The only plant we have not much of a result is with an exotic palm species - Phoenix Rubalini. We learned to mix the concentrate at different levels depending on the landscape situation. As we get more experienced with the mixtures, we produce more and more positive results.
I have provided the Mineralizer to a couple people in the nursery business. They spray a 1.3 oz (OS) per gallon (water) mixture weekly on container plants and vegetable plants providing nutrients.
As I explain to all my customers, the results are not always instantaneous. Many additional benefits of the product will be achieved after a few months of application. An additional long term benefit is increased resiliency of plants. A good depiction of increased resiliency can be shown with a Citrus tree in Boca Raton, FL. A few months after hiring my company for maintenance services, a customer also requested Massey Pest Control to put “weed & feed” (atrazine) on the lawn. One week later, the Lime tree went into a steep decline and appeared dead. My customer sent an email wondering what would cause the tree to react in such a negative way. An assessment of the tree noted browning of weeds around the base of the tree, typical of atrazine treatment. The Lime tree was on the same path as the weeds. I explained how atrazine worked as a weed control, but it could adversely affect shrubs and trees in the landscape. One stem on the tree did not defoliate and the tree slowly recovered. As the tree recovered, it was attacked by Leaf Miner in June. Prior to the W&F damage the Lime tree was sprayed with OceanSolution 3 times (4 week intervals), the tree was healthy and the blooms were plentiful. I greatly believe OceanSolution greatly added to the recovery and survival of this particular plant.

I have been the Senior Groundskeeper the past 20 years for the Tampa Sports Authority at Raymond James Stadium and a member of the NFL Grounds Crew as well as the Central Florida Sports Turf Managers Association. Water and fertilizer restrictions, in conjunction with economic times, has taken me in the direction of a new, sustainable technology. In the fall of 2009 I was introduced to OceanSolution and have witnessed tremendous results with my ‘Celebration’ Bermuda grass. My turf is healthier and the rooting is incredible! I have highly recommended OceanSolution to my fellow peers and will continue to do so. It is currently being used on other athletic fields with outstanding results!
Best regards,

Just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to OceanSolution. I have used this fertilizer on several St. Augustine lawns on a monthly basis for a few months and have seen drastic changes in color and growth. A rich deep green and thickening of runner shoots have helped increase sales in neighborhoods, not to mention how safe the product is to use. I also use it on ornamental shrubs, flowers and trees. I have not seen it burn any plants and I think it's a much better product than soluble fertilizers.
Thanks again for your help.
