    YMGP has found a new product that we think you are going to love! It's just recently been released and we are all on the ground floor. But don't be fooled the by packaging, it's not a gardener's lotion, but as colorful as the bottle is, it's a plant fertilizer!

    So simple to use, not only will the beginner like the mild 7-7-7 no burn formula, but the experienced gardener will like the quick 4 pumps and disperse!

    Check out our interview with Sam Niemann, the inventor, researcher... well, the Mr. Everything of BLEUME!
