Are Leafgro® products safe to use around my pets and/or children?

Yes! Both Leafgro® and Leafgro GOLD® are safe to use around pets and children.

Can Leafgro® products be used as a mulch?

Yes, but it isn’t recommended. While mulch is typically used to suppress plant growth (i.e., control weeds), Leafgro® products promote and encourage growth.

I am installing a new garden. Should I use straight (100%) Leafgro® or mix it with the existing soil?

It is best to mix the Leafgro® 50/50 with the existing soil. That way, when the growing roots extend to reach the original soil, it won’t be foreign to them.

I'm a retailer who sells Leafgro® products. Can I get Leafgro® signage to use at my store?

Yes! Please contact us for more information, but signage is available.
