About Us

Dear Gardening Friends,

I was an avid organic gardener for years when the seed of an idea germinated and burst through the depleted soil of gardening’s status quo, to grow and blossom into my life’s work. By 1991, the time had come for me to combine my scientific knowledge of plants and soil with my passion for organic gardening and human health.

I created a company whose philosophy and line of organic lawn and garden products would elevate organic gardening to a new level. It would shake up an industry and wake up a world made sick by unhealthy practices. I wanted healing for the soil that feeds people, for the people themselves, and for the planet. That’s why I named it “Dr. Earth^®.”

NO ONE CAN CONTEST that I, Milo Shammas, invented the concept of infusing organic fertilizers and soils with beneficial soil microbes (probiotics), or that my innovative concept changed the face of gardening worldwide.

The best part of this story is that although I invented a CONCEPT that was NEW, it was based on something as OLD as soil itself—the complex and amazing intelligence of nature, the balance of life that nature has maintained for millions of years.

I understood that organic materials did not break down in the soil without the presence of soil microbes. I was the first to create microbe-infused soils and fertilizers, the first to test them, and the first to market them.

The Dr. Earth^® Company is still, and always will be, the first!
Dr. Earth^® leads the retail lawn and garden industry, creating cutting-edge natural/organic garden-friendly products. In fact, most of my competitors have attempted to copy my technology of ProBiotic^®—the infusion of my proprietary microbes and mycorrhizae into organic fertilizers and soils. This flatters me. They too have learned, because of my leadership, that organics such as soils and fertilizers were ineffective, and responded too slowly, without the addition of beneficial soil microbes.

With my company’s total commitment to clean and healthy gardening, I will continue to pursue perfection in every Dr. Earth^® product. I take immense pride in everything that leaves our facility. And the reason behind all of it is you, my customer. It’s a dangerous world out there, even in the garden.

Every day, misinformation and fraudulent practices lead unsuspecting home gardeners into situations where they might unintentionally put not just the health of their garden soil in jeopardy, but even the health of their families. Trust only Dr. Earth^® products, always wholesome, safe, and effective, with NO GMOs, chicken manure, or sewage sludge (often called “biosolids.”)

As I continue to research every component that makes up premium Dr. Earth^® products, I will continue to bring those new findings to you our customer, for your benefit. You have my personal word, my personal assurance that all Dr. Earth^® products will perform as promised.

Today, with Dr. Earth^®’s technology—our inclusion of ProBiotic^® beneficial soil microbes, plus the synergistic energy of Ecto and Endo Mycorrhizae—you can have an organic garden, completely safe for your children and pets. But that’s not all!

DR.EARTH^® PROMISES, AND DELIVERS, ULTRA-FAST RESULTS. Enjoy an abundance of large, healthy plants, fruits, and vegetables. Enjoy blossoms like you’ve never had before and produce that tastes like it should: naturally delicious. I want our customers to succeed every time and have the most healthy, and beautiful, garden ever possible.

This has been my personal mission since the creation of Dr. Earth^® and remains the mission of everyone in the family of people associated with my company. Dr. Earth^® is far more than simply a job or a business to me; it is my contribution to the health of our environment and mankind.

I sincerely thank you for your support.
