Our Soil

“It all starts with the soil. A healthy plant starts with good roots. And that’s why we have more than 40 different soil mixes to give a plant what it needs from the roots up.”

OUR SOIL MIXES

each and every plant requires a soil mix that enables it to grow at its best, so we tailor our soil to the plant’s needs. We custom blend our forty soil mixes to ensure the right water holding capacity, acidity/alkaline balance, and compost ratio for each plant type. a plant that’s grown in the right soil will establish itself quickly in the container and perform better in the garden, as healthy vigorous roots will expand and explore the surrounding soil.

USE OF COMPOST AND FUNGUS

We add a nutrient rich soil compost made in-house to our soil mixes to improve plant performance. each plant also gets the benefit of mycorrhizae, a beneficial fungus that enables water and nutrient uptake from the soil. That mycorrhizae will help the plant transplant well in the home garden.

BARK TOPPERS

During our plant canning process, we add a bark topping to help suppress weed growth. This enables us to use considerably less chemical herbicide, and acts as a mulch to help retain soil moisture.
