SOIL AMENDMENTS, POTTING MIXES, FERTILIZER & PEST SOLUTIONS

Quality matters!

SOIL AMENDMENTS are recommended with every planting job.

Amend your soil every time you plant. Add compost and/or soil conditioner to your planting hole to lighten the soil, improve drainage in the root zone, and allow plants to have more access to oxygen. Compost provides some added fertility.

  • Other Soil Amendments include Lime, Phosphate, Greensand, Gypsum, Sulfur, Biochar, Worm Castings, Peat Moss, Coir, Perlite, and Vermiculite
