Penobscot Planting Mix
Why Use It?
An all-in-one blend for planting annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees or conditioning gardens beds and borders. A rich, smooth blend of salmon and blueberry compost, tiny mussel shell fragments, and peat. Available in 1cf. bags.
- Compost helps improve the moisture and nutrient holding capacity of your soil.
- Peat helps lighten the blend and gives it a consistent texture.
- Atlantic salmon is an extremely rich source of nutrients that plants thrive on.
- The leaves and twigs of wild blueberries are rich sources of fibrous organic matter.
- Crushed shells are a great source of calcium and help aerate and add texture to poor, acidic soils common to the Northeast.
- Sphagnum peat is the decayed remains of a moss that has thrived in coastal bogs since the Ice Age. Its water absorbing capacity makes it a key ingredient.
