"I tested ProTerra on one of two olive trees that were the same size and age. The one treated with ProTerra produced more than twice the olives of the untreated tree.
Of the two basil plants I started this spring, only one was treated with ProTerra. It grew more than twice as fast as the non-treated plant.
I now use ProTerra on all of my plants."
