Organic Soils:
- All-Purpose Organic Soil: Ideal for a variety of plants, our all-purpose organic soil is a balanced blend of compost, peat moss, and other natural ingredients. It provides excellent drainage, moisture retention, and nutrient availability, making it perfect for vegetable gardens, flower beds, and container planting.
- Potting Soil: Specifically formulated for container gardening, our organic potting soil ensures optimal aeration and drainage while providing essential nutrients for potted plants. This mix is ideal for houseplants, herbs, and patio containers.
- Seed Starting Mix: Our organic seed starting mix is a fine-textured blend designed to provide the perfect environment for seed germination and young plant growth. It ensures good seed-to-soil contact and retains moisture without becoming waterlogged.
Organic Amendments:
- Compost: Rich in organic matter, compost improves soil structure, enhances nutrient availability, and promotes beneficial microbial activity. Use compost to enrich garden beds, amend poor soils, or as a top dressing for lawns and plants.
- Worm Castings: An excellent soil conditioner, worm castings are packed with nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. They improve soil structure, increase moisture retention, and provide a slow-release source of nutrients for plants.
- Manure: A natural fertilizer, aged manure adds organic matter and essential nutrients to the soil. It improves soil fertility, structure, and water-holding capacity. Use manure to amend garden beds and enrich planting areas.
- Peat Moss: Peat moss is an excellent amendment for improving soil aeration and moisture retention. It’s ideal for use in potting mixes and garden beds, especially in sandy or clay soils.
- Coco Coir: Made from coconut husks, coco coir is a sustainable alternative to peat moss. It provides excellent moisture retention and aeration, making it ideal for use in potting mixes, seed starting, and soil amendment.
- Perlite: A volcanic mineral, perlite improves soil aeration and drainage. It’s commonly used in potting mixes and soil amendments to prevent soil compaction and promote healthy root growth.
- Vermiculite: Vermiculite enhances moisture retention and nutrient exchange in soil. It’s ideal for use in seed starting mixes and as a soil amendment for improving water-holding capacity.
Soil Conditioners:
- Gypsum: Gypsum improves soil structure by breaking up compacted soil, enhancing water infiltration, and providing calcium and sulfur. It’s especially beneficial for clay soils and areas with poor drainage.
- Lime: Lime raises soil pH, making acidic soils more alkaline. It improves nutrient availability and overall soil health. Use lime to amend acidic soils and enhance plant growth.
- Bone Meal: A slow-release source of phosphorus and calcium, bone meal promotes strong root development and flowering. It’s an excellent amendment for vegetable gardens, flower beds, and bulbs.
- Blood Meal: High in nitrogen, blood meal is a powerful organic fertilizer that promotes lush, green growth. It’s ideal for leafy vegetables, lawns, and as a general soil amendment.
