Natural Plant Care with eco-friendly products by ARIES®
At garden soils many tonnes of pesticides against weeds, fungal diseases, greenflies and aphids are annually used for the assumed protection of plants. In this context, a weed killer is increasingly coming under fire, the main ingredient of glyphosate is suspected of being carcinogenic. In contrast in an eco-friendly garden synthetic chemical fertiliser are taboo. As the regulation of a major pest is inevitable ARIES® offers environmentally friendly products and natural resources around plant protection and pest control for gardeners.
ARIES® Company Profile and Eco Drugstore
From an initially small range for biological pest control a colourful and wide range has grown over the years. Today Aries® is Germany's largest supplier of biological and non-toxic products for pest control. Drugstore and garden products for environmentally conscious customers count just as much to the eco-friendly range of products for gentle pet care and scented items with natural flavours.
As organic pioneer Dieter Szczesny, founder and CEO of ARIES® Umweltprodukte, focuses with any new product to environmental compatibility and organic quality. This also applies to garden articles like seeds from certified organic cultivation, organic fertilizer, products against fighting and scraring snails, mice, ants and moles and the award-winning (first places on biological fair trades) Guerilla-Gardening® seed bombs.
Horrible animals like woodlice, mites, moths, mosquitoes, silverfish, lice & Co. are combated by beneficial insects, parasitic wasps, attractant traps and natural insecticides. ARIES® provides defensive fragrances for any kind of vermin and scares effectively the pesky critters in a natural way. Also for measures on organic farms and in the environmentally oriented industrial enterprise ARIES® agents and biocides are fundamentally suitable.

Eco-Control™
ARIES® was the first company anyway, that submitted its insect control and repellents an independent organic control body for sustainable testing and certification.
CSE
The CSE standard is a cross-industry standard of sustainable management. This includes, not like the existing certifications only parts of the company, but for the first time certifies the company as a "whole" in the 3 areas of economy, social aspects and ecology. The CSE certification requires, inter alia, sustainability. ARIES® uses energy from renewable energy sources; renounces animal testing, supports reforestation in Puerto Rico and participates in various environmental projects.

ARIES® boxes are made by climate-neutral printing. Many of the packages already support reforestation in Costa Rica and San Rafael. The certificate confirms the compensation of greenhouse gases by additional climate protection measures.

ABCERT Certification for Organic Farming
ABCERT is an ecological state-accredited inspection body throughout Germany and parts of Europe for certification in organic farming. Biological products of ARIES® like herbal candies, seeds and petfood meet the requirements of the relevant EU regulations and are controlled by ABCERT.
Resource-saving, GMO-free and Ragweed Controlled Production
In addition to the mentioned eco seals as part of a sustainable company belongs a power supply from environmentally friendly sources without coal, nuclear or fossil gas. The production and office building of ARIES® is supplied exclusively with electricity from renewable sources of energy of Greanpeace or Lichtblick.
The GMO-free agriculture is always exposed to danger of genetically modified pollen being transferred to conventional plants by wind and bees. For ARIES® genetic engineering is a risky and unnecessary interference with the natural creation. Therefore the northern German family business supports the Information Service Genetic Engineering with a donation from the sale of Guerilla Gardening® seed bombs.
Besides genetically modified seeds and plants Ambrosia has also become a threat to humans and animals. The pollen of ragweed count among the strongest allergy triggers. It can cause asthma and hay fever-like symptoms. Through extensive checks ARIES® preclude contamination by ragweed seeds. This applies to the organic birdseed "Bird Luck".

And who wants to thrive no genetically modified plants in urban gardening confides to ARIES® Guerilla Gardening® seed bombs. Surprise your fellows with a floridity and throw the seed bombs exactly where colourful flowers are missing and can grow.

Basil, thyme and oregano from certified organic cultivation are indispensable for the Italian cuisine and make Pizza, Pasta and Co. to a very special taste adventure! The herb pot set contains three biodegradable plant pots, peat-free coco coir and organic seeds and therefore is ready for immediate use.
Natural Plant Care for ecologically thinking Gardeners
By tree-cut and mowing, also by harvesting fruits, vegetables and crop, soil and plants are deprived from urgently needed nutriments. To keep the natural balance and to ensure a rich next harvest, the extracted nutriments have to be brought back into the soil. If one wants to have a rich harvest every year, fertilising is a mandatory action. This is accepted by ecologically thinking garden holders as well as by conventionally inclined farmers. However, they differ according to the type of fertilizer they use. While conventional farmers access to chemically produced fertilisers, which are produced under high energy consumption, the organic gardener chooses the natural plant care, applying organic fertiliser. Organic fertiliser is always derived from nature, like compost, manure or remains of algae. Before the organic fertiliser can unfold its effect, creatures in the soil will use it as nutrition. The plant roots can therefore assimilate the contained nutriments better, leading to a slower growth which makes the plants more resistant and robust. ARIES® fertilisers are made solely from organic materials and do not contain any chemical additions. Aries fertilisers supply plants with all necessary nutriments and trace elements, leading to a healthy and constant plant growth.
