This was a spectacular “Made you look” performance by Team GLTi and yet another successful collaboration with NBC! The TODAY Show featured it’s 6 custom green living walls on display as Earth Day unfolded to a brisk event on the plaza at Rockefeller Center in New York City. The green living walls were designed and constructed by our Certified GLTi Team members, lead by George Irwin (Founder, GLTi). The custom walls also included an herb wall for Giada De Laurentiis with “Off the Wall Cooking”. The herb wall filled the plaza with fresh aromas from the living basil to lavender. The TODAY Show drew 5.6 million viewers across the country all watching with excitement as NYC students plant food and grow as citizens. This event brought immediate attention from the White House and Mayor’s office contacting NBC in reference to Green Living Technologies (GLTi). Steve (Ritz), the GLTi spokesperson, excited the crowd as usual when he walked on camera sharing and promoting his support of the continuing educational success of the GLTi educational programs which also utilizes the Mobile Edible Wall Units as a conduit for teaching hands on skills and building self esteem. Director of New Business development at GLTi, Joan Stadler, states,  “This program is creating a powerful opportunity for positive green and social change. We, at GLTi, look forward to doing our part of “Growing America” planting and nurturing seeds of empowerment and innovation. This has also stimulated more school systems requesting information for programs. What a nice welcome for a few moments on TODAY show”.

Foodlink Food Factory Vertical Controlled Environment Agriculture (VCEA)

After 4 weeks of automation without human interaction the Foodlink Food Factory Vertical Controlled Environment Agriculture (VCEA) facility (Rochester NY) has produced baby leaf spinach in less than 28 days and three tomato varieties ready to flower. (5-3-2013) We are excited about the next visit on 5-15-2013 anticipating fruit set. This beta site is complimentary to the Tampa facility where David Smiles has demonstrated the economic model. From here it is a matter of reducing the man hours even more and improving the technology through advanced lighting, heat, cooling and reducing water by 99%! This is all very real data for GLTi and advanced scaled models are only months away.

Green Living Roof Panels

One system for all types of green roofs, extensive or intensive

Still the simplest, most economical green roof system available to date! Scientifically designed to retain storm water, reduce watering, 100% mature and lessen the likeliness of disease. The ease of modular trays with the advanced function of a built up system. Easy to access the waterproofing without destroying the green roof. One patented product for all types of greenroofs including extensive and intensive, with a compressive strength of 3200 lbs per square foot you can build patios and place trees directly on top of the system and irrigation is simple!

Canada Blooms, Canada’s largest indoor flower show, provides a great venue to increase public and private sector awareness about the beauty and benefits of living architecture such as living walls and green roofs.

The team of Creative Garden Design, Hollander Landscaping Ltd., Who Does Your Garden and Vertical Landscape Architects Inc. won the 2013 Canada Blooms Award for Outstanding Use of Interior Plants. Jason Rokosh, the Founder and Principal Landscape Architect of Vertical Landscape Architects Inc., is shown with one side of the double-sided living walls featured at Canada Blooms 2013.

Great job GLTi Canada!

bioSoil is made up of probiotics for green roofs, living walls, all types of  plants, turf, agriculture, trees and golf course applications. bioSoil contains a wide consortium of living, natural, beneficial bacteria. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert nitrogen from the air into natural fertilizer right at the plant, reducing input and fertilizer runoff. Nitrifying bacteria convert higher nitrogen forms into nitrates, the principle form of nitrogen used by plants and turf. Phosphate solubilizing makes the phosphorous in the soil more available. The combination allows growers to greatly reduce their fertilizer inputs. The photosynthetic bacteria in bioSoil “feed” the plant as well as the entire growing media food web by producing sugars and adding carbon biomass. The multiple Bacillus strains in bioSoil increase plant and turf health thus increasing their natural resistance to pathogens and disease, lowering the need for pesticides.

bioSoil is advanced science and biotechnology, and an all-in-one agriculture product that will augment your green roof & living wall media, compost, manure, humus, compost teas and other biologicals and lower your use of fertilizers, water, fungicides and chemicals.

• Most competitor products contain spore-forming (inert) microorganisms. In contrast, the beneficial bacteria in bioSoil are vegetative (alive and actively growing) so they start working instantly – results are often seen in hours as opposed to days or weeks.
• bioSoil contains a wide variety of beneficial bacteria that perform various functions for the plant. Many competitor products contain 1 or just a few strains.
• We do not use growth inhibitors or other chemicals to keep our microbes alive.
• Our product is shelf stable for at least two years, a significant advancement in microbiology.
• bioSoil contains photosynthetic microorganisms that produce energy for plants.
• bioSoil is compatible with fertilizers and most chemicals.
• bioSoil can be mixed with dry or pelletized products.
• bioSoil can be applied by your normal watering equipment:
• Irrigation systems, watering cans, sprayers (end-hose, backpack, truck), etc.
• bioSoil can be applied as a foliar or a drench treatment.
• bioSoil can be used with Hydroponic techniques
• Reduce fertilizer use by 50%.
• Reduce water use by up to 50%.
• Reduce fungicide and chemical use significantly.
• Increase yields and brix levels by 20% or more.
• Healthier and greener plants, trees and turfs.
