PROFILE |

U.S. Home & Garden helps your plants grow and protects them from perils such as insects and animals. The company's Easy Gardener subsidiary makes lawn and garden products, including weed-trimmer replacement parts (Weed Wizard) and specialty fencing. The company's biggest seller is its landscape fabric -- a mesh material that assists plant growth but prevents weeds (sold under WeedBlock, Landmaster, and other labels). Other products include plant food (Jobe's plant food spikes, Ross tree root feeders), lawn edging (Emerald Edge, Terra Cotta Tiles), and animal repellents. Its Golden West Agri-Products subsidiary makes chemicals for farms and orchards. Founder and CEO Robert Kassel owns more than 10% of the company.
