The article went on to note that one US manufacturer of “green” fertilizer, Itronics Corp., recently announced that sales of its GOLD’n GRO brand of fertilizers notched a 65.7% increase in sales in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period a year ago.

Itronics’ founder, Dr. John Whitney, added that “This is the first time Itronics has achieved a positive gross profit in the third quarter, which is normally the lowest sales quarter of the year.”
