Boston-Converted Organics Inc., which produces organic liquid and solid fertilizers and soil amendments from food wastes with a proprietary high temperature liquid composting process, has announced that The Home Depot will start carrying its products in stores in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and New York with the spring 2009 season. Converted Organics President Edward Gildea applauded the decision, which he declared a “tremendous chance to expand the availability of high-quality organic fertilizer to consumers.” Gildea reported that a completed order is expected in January to enable organic products to be carried in 64 stores in the northeast, and that he expects the arrangement to grow into a long-term relationship. “The northeast is one of the most active organic markets in the United States,” said Gildea. “We are very excited about having our all-natural fertilizer product available to consumers through one of the most visible home improvement retailers in the world.”
