Dear readers,

I'm a Dutch marketing student and at this moment I'm working on a
survey. I'm investigating the possiblities exporting a new potting
soil product form Holland to the UK.

Cocopeat is a peat-free compost which has proven its worth in the
professional horticulture market.An unique feature of cocopeat is that
it can be compressed by pressing out the water, adding water brings the
cocopeat back in the original shape. Compressing cocopeat creates an
odourless and dry lightweight tablet. Adding 200 ml water to one tablet
generates 0.5 litre of potting soil. A tube filled with 10 of these
tablets(450 grams) brings the traditional hauling with dirty and
backbreaking sacks of potting soil to an end.

All advantages of the product in summary:
-Suitable for all balcony-, terrace- and indoor plants;
-Ideal for small housed admirers;
-Light in weight, easy in transport;
-Easy to dose, at least 2 years maintainable;
-Contains Osmocote nutrients for 6 months;
-Cocopeat does not stick to the hands

In short: convenient, quick and clean!

To investigate the possibilities of exporting to the UK we need the
opinion of real-life consumers. If you would be so kind to fill in the
questionnaire it would be of great help for my survey. The questionnaire
counts 18 multiple choise question and shouldn't take more than 5
minutes of your time.

This is the link to fill in the questionnaire.http://tinyurl.com/2zq5pp

You should realize that this product can prove to be deadly poison for
any dogs that eat it.
There have already been deaths caused by coco shell mulches.
I hate to think of the Law suites
Chocolate & All Chocolate Products
INCLUDING COCO-SHELL GARDEN MULCH
Dogs are particularly sensitive to a class of chemicals called
methylxanthines. Theobromine and caffeine all belong to this family.
Dogs cannot metabolise and excrete these compounds as efficiently as
humans. These compounds, once swallowed are taken up by the liver,
transmitted back to the small intestine and converted back to the
original methylxanthines. After which, they take another trip around
the body. This is repeated a number of times, so instead of getting
rid of the compounds (as a human being does) the dog will just keep
poisoning itself. The difficulty is that there are many different
formulations of chocolate, from sweet milk chocolate, which is the
mildest form to the dark bitter chocolate, commonly produced for the
continental market, but increasingly consumed in the UK. A lethal
amount of sweet milk chocolate is said to be around two ounces to
every Kg in bodyweight. For example: A dog weighing 22lb the lethal
amount would be around 20 ounces. Dark bitter chocolate is considered
to be about ten times as toxic, so a 22lb dog could actually die from
as little as 2 ounces of dark chocolate. Although many people are
aware of this fact, there are many others that are unaware and still
others who have been given the facts but choose to ignore them. We
have all heard someone say "I've given my dogs chocolate for years and
they've never come to any harm". They may not have done, as they've
probably been given a small amount of milk chocolate but what it has
done is give the dog a taste for it and who knows when they may find a
bar of dark chocolate? It comes as no surprise that Easter and
Christmas are times when many dogs are at risk, especially when family
members visit and often give titbits to a dog, or dogs are left alone
to consume any left out chocolates.

Clinical Signs:
Vomiting *Hyperactivity *Restlessness *Hypersensitivity when touched
(A dog will jump on touch) *A raised rapid respiration and heartbeat
*Muscle Tremors *Seizures *Weakness *Coma *And death
