Since many of you will be
changing out containers this fall, here is a little information about a top
selling potting soil that is perfect for your high value plants, flowers,
window boxes, hanging baskets, containers or vegetables. This soil is used by
serious professional growers whose livelihood depends upon a great product.
Ocean Forest Potting
Soil
Ocean Forest Potting Soil is an all-natural organic potting soil.
With all the composted material, there are plenty of available nutrients to
keep many plants thriving without the use of fertilizers. For heavy feeding plants,
Ocean Forest blend will keep your plants fed for about one month before a
fertilizer is needed. Another great feature to this potting soil is its ability
to resist compacting over the season. Although all potting soils will
eventually compact, Ocean Forest seems to have just the right amount of humus
and perlite to keep compaction to a minimum. Less compaction allows for better
water and oxygen penetration to the root system and helps keep the
micro-organisms in the soil alive.
Ingredient Breakdown: Composted forest humus holds moisture in the soil. Sphagnum peat moss
helps aerate and loosen soil
allowing healthy root growth. Pacific
Northwest sea-going fish is an organic fertilizer that provides amino acids, enzymes,
and nutrients. Crab meal is an organic
fertilizer that suppresses pest nematode activity
and also a good source of calcium. Shrimp
meal is an organic fertilizer. Earthworm castings provide all the micro-nutrients necessary for plant growth. Sandy
loam provides good water retention and drainage. Perlite provides optimum moisture retention for plant growth. Fossilized bat guano is rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, and zinc. Granite dust has minerals and trace elements that plants need. Norwegian kelp meal is a source of
naturally chelated trace elements. Oyster shell aids
in pH adjustment and provides calcium.
