| YES… DIGGING HOLES CAN BE FAST AND FUN |
|
The PrestoPlanter was invented in 2006 to make planting fast and fun. The zinc-plated garden tool attaches to a power drill – spinning perfect holes in ¼ of the time it normally takes to dig a hole with a hand trowel. The time and effort saved means gardeners can plant more plants and enjoy bigger, more beautiful gardens. In addition to saving time, this product also reduces wear and tear on backs, knees and wrists.

| HOW IT ALL BEGAN |
Rhoda Ailts |
The story behind the PrestoPlanter began when Rhoda Ailts asked inventor friend Jack Reiter to help her plant a garden in some rooted, compacted, clay soil.

Jack and Rhoda immediately realized that this was a useful new invention, and Rhoda ended up leaving her job to work full time as Director of Business Development for Reit Creations Inc. Today the PrestoPlanter is available in garden centers and hardware stores across the country, in major catalogs and on QVC.

| REACTIONS |
|
Retailer and user feedback has been positive, as noted in the testimonials. The product has also been demonstrated at Home & Garden Shows, the Minnesota State Fair and at garden centers around the country. People generally break into laughter after trying the PrestoPlanter and drilling their first hole. The PrestoPlanter is designed to be fast and fun.

| JUST THE FACTS |
|
The PrestoPlanter is made in the USA with heavy-gauge steel that is powerful enough to cut through roots the size of a pencil. Any battery-powered 12-volt drill (or higher) will do the job, and each package comes complete with instructions on how to use the product. Each kit also comes with 3” and 5-¼” blades and 7” and 24” shafts. You can easily interchange the blades and shafts wearing garden gloves. There’s even a convenient hole so you can hang it in the garage when you’re done planting.

| NOTE TO GARDEN CENTER OWNERS AND LANDSCAPERS |
|
PrestoPlanters are packaged in master cartons containing 12 units each. With the initial order, garden centers receive a complimentary DVD of a 30-second commercial loop so their customers can see the benefits of the PrestoPlanter while in line at the check-out counter. The video is designed to prompt last-minute purchases as customers are waiting to pay for their plants.
After gardeners see how easy it is to dig holes with the PrestoPlanter, chances are they’ll be buying more plants. For information on discount pricing for volume orders, contact Rhoda Ailts at 888-808-5111 or rhoda@prestoplanter.com
