PittMoss® plants were hardier than previous crops where I might have only 60% life I now can get 95%. The plants grew 6 to 7 feet in the first year, very impressed.

Delmarva Conserves Wetlands with Native Plants and PittMoss®
For Clark DeLong and Jillian Parisi, establishing their nursery, Delmarva Native Plants, was a logical next step in careers dedicated to conserving wetlands in the Eastern Shore. "The main reason behind this nursery has been to put out native plant species into the marketplace, make local provenance, locally-sourced seed a main feature of this business, and help improve environmental restoration within the Delmarva region,” said Clark.
The Danger of Heavy Metals in Potting Soils - Dr. Bethke, Soil Scientist, Explains and Reveals PittMoss Results
In an EPA funded study (Contract 68D60035) newspapers and advertising materials from 48 publishers were analyzed and ALL were considered safe and well below tolerance limits. The current production of paper and the use of soya-based ink greatly reduces the possibility of contamination. Most recently the Soil amendment derived from recycled newspaper, “PittMoss”, was tested and easily passed the all the 503 limits tests.
