The Clarus Story
Years of university research have proven that fertilizers containing organic matter perform as well or better than traditional fertilizer, but are not harmful to America’s water supplies. Clarus’ special formula combines organic nutrients with the right amount of quick release fertilizer so all your plants grow and stay healthy.
Fertilizer containing organic matter has tremendous benefits over traditional synthetically-made fertilizers. Organic matter contains life stimulating compounds that will aid in superior nutrient uptake. And organic nutrients gently provide natural, slow release nutrients that feed plants gradually creating a deeper, stronger root system.
You get the same rich growing benefits as 100% synthetic fertilizers but without the tendency for chemical runoff that ends up in our water supplies.
Clarus – Choice Fertilizer. Clean Water.
