- Inventory on the way
High nitrogen fertilizer derived from all natural organic sources. Can be added directly to your garden beds at a rate of around 1 to 2 lbs per 32 sqft. Goes great with our organic 5-6-6 fertilizer. Whitwam Organics 12-0-0 Bloodmeal can also be added to a garden area to deter rabbits and deer. I have a theory based on anecdotal evidence, but I'm pretty sure that it deters squirrels, too.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE FOR ALL NEW PLANTINGS OF SEEDS AND PLANTS
(Secret Formula for raised beds)
-Per 32sqft-
Before planting
add 3lbs of 5-6-6 and
1.5lbs of 12-0-0
to our 50/50 Compost/Garden Soil, raised bed mix. Mix thoroughly, vertically into the top 3-4 inches.
If the soil is like giant oak logs in a fire, then these granular fertilizers are like the small sticks and logs to your fire.
Immediately after planting,
pour over your bed using 1-2 gallons of water
4oz of Compost Plus,
2oz of Micros Plus, and
4oz of Capacity Plus.
These liquids, are like the paper to your fire.
Follow up feedings -post-planting-
For the first few weeks after planting, use just the Compost Plus.
If feeding 1 time per week, apply 4oz per 32sqft in 1-2 gallons of water. I use 2 gallons because I get a more even spread. Use however much water you can comfortably spread the product out in 32sqft.
If feeding 2x per week then 2oz per feeding, and if feeding 4x per week, then 1oz.
Essentially, use the same amount of product per 32sqft, per week. More dilute more often is definitely better, but I know we all have schedules. Do this, for the first 2 to 4 weeks after planting. You will know when to stop.
Use Compost Plus again during the growing season, if fast growth is what you need from your plants.
Follow up -during the season-
Every 1 to 2 months, apply Micros Plus and Capacity Plus with 1-2 gallons of water. If applying every 2 months then 2oz and 4oz respectively. If applying every month, then go at half the rate. Kind of like with the Compost Plus.
Re-apply 1/8 to 1/4 of the original application of 5-6-6 (no 12-0-0) every 45 to 90 days or as needed until the end of the growing cycle.

Bulk Soil
After you place your order, we will contact you to arrange the soil delivery. Please note that our trailer or dump truck is large and heavy, with a limited turning radius. We cannot be held responsible for any damage within 1.5 ft of the edge of the driveway or the designated delivery area. If there are plants, grass, artificial turf, sprinkler heads, or any other items within 1.5 ft of the edge, they may be damaged. We are not liable for any damage unless it is due to gross driver negligence. Driveway surfaces (concrete, shell, pavers, turf, etc.) and anything within 1.5 ft of the drive may experience cracking, splitting, breaking, depressions, tracks, etc. Please be aware that large item deliveries carry inherent risks. If the driver determines that it is unsafe to dump the soil in your desired location, they will either choose a safe alternative or the soil will not be delivered, but the delivery fee will still apply.
Bagged Soil
We fill bagged soil orders every Wednesday. If your order is placed after 4 pm on Tuesday, it will be filled on the following Wednesday. Once your bags of soil are ready, we will follow the regular pickup protocol mentioned above.
