New to organic gardening?
Our experienced staff will also guide you in the right direction when setting up your outdoor and/or indoor organic garden. Organic nutrients are formulated from natural components that come from a dead animal or plant, as opposed to synthetic chemicals. Some of the soil amendments we carry include guano from various sources, worm castings, compost and its byproducts, marine products like kelp, oyster shell, shrimp or crab meal, and other bone, blood, and feather meals. We have amendments for your soil, liquid nutrients for feeding hydro- or soil-based gardens, and a broad referral network of gardeners who have tried a variety of applications, experimented with side-by-side comparisons, and consulted for everyone from educational institutions to your next-door neighbor. Tell us about your plants, your problems, and your preferences. We are ready to help you with your organic needs!.
