One of the more widely used blends in the industry, it is optimized for flats and containers up to 12". High Porosity Mix is a pine-based mix that is well suited for larger containers. It holds up well to settling and degradation over longer crop cycles. This mix is ideal for container sizes 4" and larger.

This blend contains coarse pine bark to maintain stability of the soil structure and porosity over longer crop cycles.

PHONE 630-365-1990 • FAX 630-365-3818


Increase your profit opportunities on small jobs of 1 cubic yard or less by using our new

MIDWEST LANDSCAPERS PRO™ No more mess: No more dumping a bulk pile, no more stains on hard surfaces and no more tracking footprints. Keep things clean and organized – get in and out quicker. No extra clean up after the product is installed, then easily return extra bags to your yard or keep in the truck as backup. Easy touch-ups: No need to use valuable resources sending someone back to your yard to get additional

mulch. Have a couple extra bags on hand for easy touch-ups and back up. Maintenance can be done on the spot when homeowners ask, and maintenance crews can keep extra bags in their truck at all times.

Save time and money: Make loading, unloading and installation faster and easier by using bags. Without a bulk pile you won’t have to shovel as much. Who doesn’t want less shoveling? This also means crews can work more efficiently – reducing time spent on the job and saving you valuable labor hours. 100% volume accuracy: Forget about questioning small loads measured with an end loader; know

exactly what you’re buying and exactly what you’re installing. Don’t risk your crews bringing too much or too little to the jobsite. (Our LoadScan has 100% volume accuracy for your full semi loads of certain products)

Increase efficiency: Getting the job done quicker, more safely and more accurately will allow you more time to get more jobs done with less labor.

Minimize risk: You won’t have to unhook your trailer or dump a bulk pile when using bags, which

increases overall safety for workers. Less chance for injury makes the job safer and easier. Cut down on business risk and increase reward.

Less wear and tear on your equipment:

Less unhooking trailers and dumping bulk piles helps extend the life of your equipment. Less wear and tear means less maintenance and fewer repairs. Save your time and money for something else.

Increase versatility: Have a variety of bagged products on your truck without having to separate them or

run the risk of products mixing together. Increase your versatility and make your life easier.

Weather tolerant: With bagged products you can worry less about bad weather. Weather tolerance gives you more convenience and less delay. Don’t let the weather dampen your work; stay ahead of the game by having a game plan; use bagged products. • No more mess • Minimize risk • Easy touch-ups • Less wear and tear on equipment • Save time and money • Increase versatility • 100% volume accuracy • Weather tolerant • Increase efficiency For a list of all bagged products, look for pricing on page 21.

MUSHROOM COMPOST (SMS)

What is Mushroom Compost? (Spent Mushroom Substrate) This high quality compost is the material that results from the mushroom growing process. It is a combination of composted straw, horse manure and supplemental nutrients. While originally designed to meet stringent nutritional and structural media requirements for mushroom growers, this formulation is excellent for soil amendment use in the landscape and gardens. The high nutrient values are excellent for inducing plant growth and health, while the structural characteristics are ideal for loosening and improving heavy soils.

22 22

Benefits of Mushroom Compost (SMS): ► Can be used as a soil amendment, compost or mulch ► Improves soil structure and increases beneficial microbial populations ► Increases soil aeration and improves soil/water status ► Ideal for loosening and improving heavy soils, reducing compaction ► Food grade growing media with low soluble salt concentrations ► Provides plant nutrients and increases plant nutrient availability ► Increases root structure; great for establishing sod and seeded lawns ► Great for mitigation of damaged soil; decreases need for fertilizers ► Steam pasteurized (to remove pathogens and weed seeds) and screened ► Overwintering further "cures" before amending soils for seedlings use ► 1 Cubic Yard will generously cover a 150 square foot area

MULCH Why Do We Mulch Plantings? Adding mulch to the landscape helps retain moisture, moderates soil temperature, reduces weed growth and also helps prevent frost heave. When used around trees and shrubs, it provides a protective barrier from lawn mowers and trimmers. Aesthetically, dark colored mulches also provide a sharp contrast to the green vegetation of the landscape.

VERSAQUONSET GREENHOUSES VersaQuonset Kits Our standard VersaQuonsets are 80' in length. Custom lengths are available in 4' increments. Poly and Shade Cloth not included. When ordering a 16' VersaQuonset, or the 16', 20' or 24' Pro-Line, you will see a slightly different look due to our computerized pipebending equipment. The bend starts out straight, approximately 1 ft on the 16' hoop, 1 ft. 8 inches on the 20' hoop, and 4' on the 24' hoop, and then arches. Our VersaQuonset 13 & 22 have not changed. If you are replacing or adding to an existing house, please let us know and we can custom bend the tubing for you in the original design (original design is for houses built before 2003). Midwest Trading does not custom cut steel hoops and sells only the listed widths.

VERSAQUONSET GREENHOUSES Pro-Line Heavy Duty VersaQuonset Kits The 16', 20', and 24' Pro-Line VersaQuonset Greenhouses are made of stronger 1 5/8" o.d., 15 gauge tubing. Heavy duty cross connectors and ground sleeves are used to achieve greater rigidity. They are ideal for areas (like open fields) that are not protected from extreme weather conditions. Also, an excellent choice for bin covers (more hardware required). We offer 3' through 6' risers to extend the height of your house. Custom poly and shade cloth are available by special order, not included in price (please allow 3 weeks).

This policy will help us better serve our customers and keep freight costs as low as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.

MIDWEST GIVES BACK

Midwest Trading proudly supports the green industry organizations and our partners as well as the community by giving back with in-kind donations toward beautification projects. These community entities include local social service agencies, schools and non-profit foundations.

In 2018, Midwest Trading donated Compost Mix to Smart Farm, a volunteerrun, non-profit organization whose mission is twofold: to grow fresh produce for neighbors in need and to be an educational resource on sustainable gardening practices and healthy eating. In 2018, Smart Farm donated over 14,500 lbs to the underserved in our community and logged over 1,600 volunteer hours. While the heartbeat of Smart Farm is the dedication of our volunteers, we couldn’t achieve these results without the support of organizations such as Midwest Trading. I am confident that the Compost Mix from Midwest Trading, helped us double our production this year. This fall we will begin creating a permaculture plan for our new property. We are excited to create a farm that will be able to sustain itself into the future. We look forward to growing together with Midwest Trading. - Katherine Gabelman, Smart Farm
