V6 I received a stockalert from Scottrade today! part fallows:

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 30, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Organic PlantHealth, Inc. (OTCQB: OPHI), a manufacturer and distributor of organic-based,hybrid and environmentally responsible fertilizers, soil conditioners and pest controls, is pleased to provide an update on industry growth and the company's activities.

According to a study conducted by marketresearch.com, organic-based fertilizer products presently represent a small share of the $9 billion consumer packaged lawn and garden market in the U.S., roughly 10%, or $900 million. Since 2007 organic fertilizers and growing media revenues have grown at over 10% annually, which is greater than twice the average rate for the lawn and garden category of about 4% over the same time periods. Demand for these organic- based products has increased as consumers are generally becoming more aware of the environment and the negative effects from using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, such as contamination of waterways attributed to chemical fertilizers. The same study notes that baby-boomers are just coming in to their prime gardening years, and this will support continued growth in the sector for the foreseeable future. Organic Plant Health is poised to take advantage of this growth rate in this industry as it begins to expand product distribution along the east coast.
