the SEC filings list some of the subsidiaries such as GrowTec and Lilly

Jan chub, to address your retort to my statement about arsenic in greensand
as "not bloody likely". I'm afraid so.

You can believe these or not but do some actual research on some of the
other States that now also test and have these Ironite products on their
approved list:

The Ferettel Co.'s (PA) Greensand 0-0-3 was 5.8 ppm and 30 ppm of
arsenic/lead respectively,

GRO TEC's (GA) product IRONITE PLUS 7-6-6 was 0.001ppm /0.7 ppm
arsenic/lead respectively,

GRO TEC's 1-0-1 product was 5.5509ppm /0.1ppm arsenic/lead respectively,

ALASKA FISH FERTILIZER CO , Portland, OR ALASKA DRY PURE FISH FERTILIZER
8-5-1 W-Y was Arsenic: 9.3, Lead: 4.6 ( note this is also a sub of Central
Garden and Pet)

AGROWCHEM INC KINGSTON ONT CN KELP EXTRACT POWDER 1-0-19
Arsenic: 28.6, Lead: 1

WEST COAST MARINE BIO-PROCESSING Company, BC CN
Arsenic: 10, Lead: .02

approved product list for sale in WA State.

Even Dr Scheckel from the EPA news brief you both keep referencing stated
he believes that they changed their formula when he sent me a copy of the
actual study to review.

Spoken goatlike.

I hope your doctor can fix that for ya, Billy.

Yes, I was wondering about the killfile also
