This compost has a 60% peat content.
The compost is formulated to feed plants for approximately six weeks after planting.
While specifically blended for vegetables, it can support the growth of many flowering plants due to its balanced nutrient profile and soil structure.
The compost contains slow-release fertilizer and organic matter. However, the presence of peat and synthesized fertilizer components means it is not typically certified as fully organic.
Store unused compost in its original bag, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality.
Compost can be reused, but its nutrient content will be diminished. It's best to amend it with fresh compost or nutrients before replanting.
It is ideal for root vegetables, legumes, greens, and salads, as well as fruiting vegetables like tomatoes and peppers.
This may indicate a need for additional nutrients. Consider applying a balanced liquid vegetable fertilizer according to product instructions, as the initial six-week feed may be depleted.
Ensure containers have adequate drainage holes. If amending garden soil, mix in additional grit or perlite to improve drainage. Avoid overwatering.
The compost may have dried out significantly. Thoroughly water the affected area, potentially multiple times, to allow it to rehydrate. For severe drying, consider gently turning the top layer to help moisture penetrate.
Setup: This compost is ready to use directly from the bag. For general planting, mix it with your existing soil or fill containers as needed.
Compatibility: Suitable for all types of vegetable plants, including but not limited to root vegetables, legumes, leafy greens, and fruiting plants like tomatoes and peppers. It can be used in garden beds, raised beds, and containers.
