Organic fertilizer company off to fast start

Alpharetta, Ga.-Advanced Growing Systems Inc., which just started into the organic fertilizer and nursery business last spring, posted sales of $565,000 for the traditionally slow month of January and announced that it will report month-over-month and year-to-date sales comparisons to appeal to investors. Its two companies are Organic Growing Systems Inc., which manufactures a scientifically advanced organic fertilizer, and Advanced Nurseries Inc., which has a wholesale group of commercial nurseries in the Southeast. Another nursery is planned for the metro Atlanta area.
