Business Editors/Environment Writers

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2001

American Soil Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:SOYL) Tuesday announced its Agriblend Division has successfully developed a process to load its existing proprietary blend with plant nutrients.

The new blend reduces the need for water while supplying all the required nutrients for healthy growth. The new blend, primarily developed for the turf market, will be known as nutrimoist(TM).

Installations using a Seeda-Vator, which forces the product into the root zone, have been made on three golf courses in Tucson, Ariz. and Chula Vista and Bakersfield, Calif. A marked improvement in turf quality was noted in all three installations. In La Mesa, Calif., Hanson Aggregates installed nutrimoist(TM) in a sports park.

Ralph Reagan, general manager of Hanson's A-1 Soils, said, "Within three weeks of the application I am unable to find rust spores anywhere on the field. The turf has gone from an unhealthy looking brown and golden color to a rich emerald green. This was the most dramatic change I have ever seen in turf grass. I have never been so pleased!"

Sean Lee, executive vice president of sales and marketing for American Soil Technologies, Agriblend Division, said, "We now have a product that can be used in golf, municipalities, commercial and home lawn, which opens a very exciting market for us. We expect to staff up within the next three weeks after final selection of the installation equipment is completed."
