General Information 
GreenSpec™ homogeneous granules were developed in response to our customers’ requests for dry, granular fertilizers that would complement the use of Grigg Brothers Foliar Fertilizers.
The GreenSpec™ line has been engineered using our proprietary protein technology to deliver:
- Superior Performance -- long lasting color response
- Value and Environmental Safety -- efficient nutrient delivery, minimized leaching
- True Soil Improvement -- reducing compaction, making space for more air and water
Our customers expect their granules, synthetic or organic, to spread easily without dust and to dissolve quickly, in order to penetrate the tight, dense grasses in modern use. GreenSpec™ fertilizers have been formulated with purity in mind. They do NOT contain any waste products, there are no fillers of any kind, no manures, and no cheap minerals locked up with high heavy metals. Each ingredient has its purpose as either a plant nutrient, or as an ingredient for soil improvement.
Key Components
Ground Water Safe™ Nutrients:
The nutrients and technology used in the GreenSpec™ proprietary protein line were proven in the state of California that by applying small amounts of GreenSpec™, long lasting color responses are achieved. The nutrients and minerals get into the plant and do not rinse through the soil. No other fertilizer on the retail market can truly make this claim!
Organic, bioactive proteins:
Nitrogen and phosphorous components are obtained from specially processed animal products used in the food and flavoring industry. A lot of this protein goes into soup, gravy, bodybuilding supplements and in the case of our soy proteins, processed foods and cosmetics. These protein by-products are manufactured in a different manner than by-products found in most pet foods, animal feed, and some fertilizers. Less heat is used, along with specialized enzymes that give the material soluble qualities. For fertilizer, this means that the nitrogen and phosphorous are more available to the plant. Amino acid structures are left intact, giving them the ability to coat, or chelate, minerals into a form that is more readily absorbable by plants.
Great Salt Lake Solar Evaporated Sulfate of Potash:
Potassium comes from the waters of The Great Salt Lake in Utah. After evaporation, the natural minerals are separated using only hot water. This potassium is in its purest, natural form: no chlorides, no heavy metals, low salt index. This product is certified for use by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for organic food production.
Iron, Manganese and Zinc Sucrates (U.S. patent #3567460):
These minerals are not bound by high heavy metal concentrations. The sucrating process renders them more assimilative because plant roots are attracted to the sugars surrounding the minerals.
Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum):
The proprietary type of kelp used in GreenSpec™ Fertilizers is unusual because of its high calcium and valuable mineral content. It is extremely low in salt and sodium. In addition, it goes through a fermentation process to extract certain microbial stimulating substances.
Humic Acid:
This is a unique form containing a high fulvic to humic ratio. Derived from only one deposit of Leonardite, this is the only type of humic acid that is backed by scientific studies. The fulvic acid fraction is extremely bioactive through its molecular structure and influences plant growth by effecting energy and chlorophyll content within the plant cells. The humic ratio can be thought of as old, ancient marbles that benefit soil structure by separating soil particles to provide openings for air and water penetration.
Signaling Molecules (glycoprotein elicitors from Bio-Start, Ltd., New Zealand):
These help reduce soil compaction by opening up spaces for air and water. Spaces make fertilizers more efficient, allowing for oxygen penetration, which will dramatically reduce anaerobic disease. How? Bio-Start’s Signaling Molecules replicate root exudates that activate beneficial fungal spores, including Mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi act as plant root extensions, bringing in more water and nutrition. While doing this, fungi produce gum and threadlike substances in the soil that split open compacted soil particles to create more space. Additionally, they punch holes in soil surfaces to bring in air, and just as important, let out gasses produced by growing roots. These fungi are Mother Nature’s form of aeration.
