Peat Moss
Adding peat moss to your garden bed helps to retain moisture and break up clay. We carry three convenient sizes to suit your needs.
Sizes: 1 cubic feet, 2.2 cubic feet, and 3.8 cubic feet
Sea Soil
Sea Soil is a “living”, organic soil produced by consistently blending two ingredients: forest fines and fish waste. Sea Soil contains all the necessary macro nutrients (1.7-1.5-.6), micro nutrients and trace elements to grow strong, healthy plants. (There is no need to add expensive trace elements to Sea Soil).
Fish break down slowly into the basic nitrogen compounds most desirable to plants, thereby promoting the retention of valuable nutrients in the soil and plant foliage while prohibiting their quick leaching away from within the plants reach.
The bark in our forest fines brings all the “good bugs” and micro-organisms from the forest. Composted bark provides structure to the soil producing a healthy well-aerated environment allowing moisture, nutrients and oxygen to readily reach your plants roots. Sea Soil also is weed-free and has a disease resistant quality to it, eliminating the need for many herbicides. It has a pleasant odor, much like that of a rich soil. Sea Soil is also an excellent growth medium that assists in retaining moisture thereby eliminating the wet/dry scenario which stresses plants.
