The two most important components of your soil are a high-energy organic material and a balanced, active microbial population. Feed this soil with low-salt, natural nutrients and you have an efficient, effective, and eco-friendly growing environment. These are the products that Humate International produces and sells. Our granular and liquid HUMATEs are the highest energy organics commercially available and our BIOSYST microbial inoculants and support materials were the first to identify and fill the need for a broad-based and effective microbial soil environment.
The unique characteristics and benefits of our HUMATE and BIOSYST products are many, but the most significant are that they:
Complex nutrients and trace minerals to release them from the soil colloid.
Improve the uptake of nutrients through plant roots and leaves.
Build soil structure to eliminate layering and improve air and water movement.
Reduce the pressure from pathogens and insects.
Stimulate microbial activity to create a more active, “living” soil.
Cleanse the soil of toxins, both natural and man-made.
Eliminate the extremes of too much or too little soil moisture.
The HUMATE organics and BIOSYST microbial products from Humate International provide efficient nutrients in both granular and liquid forms and a broad spectrum of active and effective microorganisms. The results are a properly balanced soil, deep and massive root systems, and healthy, stress-resistant plants with the correct balance of nutrients and trace minerals. These plants have an increased resistance to external stresses from pathogens and insects, require less nutrient inputs and water, and grow faster to a marketable size.

Landscape Products Inc. is a family owned and operated company. We have been producing landscape supplies and covering Florida since 1984. We started packaging by hand, producing 200-500 bags per week. Within our first 6 months of business the first bagging machine in the south was purchased that helped produce up to 6,000 bags per day. We were supplying feed stores to box stores, at that time Builders Square, and Scotty’s were mulch bags was done by weight which was 30 lbs. Soon our packaging went to 2 cu ft. which many follow as today’s standard practice.
Landscape Products Inc. started producing their own mulches in 1996, and produced the first colored (RED) mulch in 1997, introducing it to Home Depot in January 1998, where it then was a part of the Florida landscape in the south. Landscape Products Inc. then produced Gold, Black and Brown mulches that beautify a landscape and colorant that lasts a full year.
Landscape Products Inc. now manufactures, packages and ships over 20 different landscaping ground covers throughout Florida and the Caribbean, beautifying the landscape, making long lasting relationships which continue for many seasons. Landscape Products Inc. has many distributers throughout the state, and our products have been on these shelves over the years–Publix, Winn-Dixie, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart. Also, many amusement parks bring long lasting safe materials to our environment. Thanks from Landscape Products Inc. for letting us be a part of your projects year after year.

Our passion for sustainable agriculture, gardening and for producing beautiful turf. We love the great outdoors and share a growing world-wide commitment to a sustainable world. We view organic gardening as recreational therapy and appreciate that sustainable farming is one of life's greatest treasures.
Food is a ‘language’ spoken in every culture. Making this language organic allows for an important cultural revolution. We need to take a stand and promote diversity and biodiversity instead of chemical toxins and environmental waste. In the short term organic farming may be more complex and labor-intensive but ultimately it is the wiser choice for health, flavor, society and for our environment. Celebrate the culture at your table.
