Sure to Grow is a plastic-based growing medium that runs the gamut among users from love to hate. Or it might just be marketing versus the gardening community, one of the two. This is one to try so you can form your own opinion.

Perlite is puffed volcanic glass that has superior oxygen retention due to its porous state but easily shifts or washes away when water comes in direct contact with it. It’s best for this one to be mixed with other growing media to keep it in place.

Direct marketing requires a change in the focus by growers. They have to focus production around their market rather than produce a commodity. The underlying concept is that there is a difference between marketing and selling. It’s possible to add value to products by direct marketing when producers assume the marketing functions traditionally done by others. By doing this, producers become price makers in their market, not price takers. Direct marketing of fruits and vegetables can be done through marketing channels .

There are many steps in marketing of fresh fruit and vegetables, including picking, cleaning, packing, transporting, possible broker services, wholesaling, shipping from wholesale to a retail outlet, and retail sales.
