| Builders Eye New Landscape Technology | Industry |
| LOS ANGELES, Calif – As builders seek ways to maximize and maintain the curb appeal of their projects, they are increasingly focused on helping new homeowners maintain the landscape's delivered condition. A new device that fertilizes the landscape with every irrigation cycle promises to make it much easier for busy homeowners to keep their lawns and gardens green, while providing builders with a new revenue stream. DECREASED LANDSCAPE REPLACEMENT COSTS. The device, an injector unit developed by Garden Promise Co. (GPC) of Los Angeles, Calif., attaches to each landscape irrigation valve delivered with the home, and uses liquid organic fertilizer cartridges. Homeowners simply load the cartridge, which resembles a small upside-down plastic bottle, into the injector and turn a dial to set the desired rate of application. | |
