WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR GROWING
OUR BEGINNINGS
As an avid gardener with a passion for growing organically, our founder Jack Bates could find little in the way of fertilizers or amendments for organic gardeners here in the early 1980s. Jack started small. Some of our early fertilizer blends were mixed by being rolled back and forth across the parking lot in 55-gallon barrels. From our small, simple beginnings over 43 years ago, Down To Earth® has grown into one of the country’s leading manufacturers and distributors of natural fertilizers and premium organic gardening products.
DTE PREMIUM FERTILIZERS
TIME TESTED, PROFESSIONALLY TESTED AND PROVEN TO BENEFIT CROP PRODUCTION
Down To Earth™ features a complete line of high performance natural and organic fertilizers, soil amendments, composts and potting media. They work with the microorganisms, fungi and organic matter in the soil to feed plants and stimulate growth. Our natural fertilizers are carefully blended from the best sources of organic nutrients in ideal proportions without the use of synthetics, growth stimulants or low quality fillers like poultry waste. You can be confident that you are giving your farm or garden the best product available, whether it’s a multi-purpose blend or a specialized soil amendment.
Many DTE™ fertilizers are approved for use in organic crop production. Please note the “OMRI” and cdfa “OIM” logos throughout the website. Certified organic operators are encouraged to check with their organic certifying agent to determine if any given product is acceptable before purchase, application and inclusion in their organic farm plan.

MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI PRODUCTSGetting to the root of good gardens The mycorrhizal products we offer contain the most diverse and effective strains of mycorrhizal fungi available anywhere, which colonize plant roots, greatly enhancing the effective surface area of the root system. More than 90 percent of plant species form a symbiotic relationship with these types of beneficial soil fungi, bringing more water and nutrients to the host plant’s roots. By utilizing a robust mix of beneficial soil organisms, plants can survive and thrive the way they naturally evolved. Apply all these products so they come into direct contact with existing or emerging plant roots. |
