Coarser than our potting mixes, this blend is formulated for organic growing in raised beds and large containers. Perennial Blend is particularly suitable for woody plants, shrubs, and herbs, and also performs well in vegetable and flower beds.
This is the mix we recommend if you need a complete soil to fill a raised bed.
Blended from: manure compost; bark; crushed, washed screened granite/basalt blend; sphagnum peat moss; coconut coir; vermiculite; kelp; blood meal; gypsum; bone meal.
No prep necessary. Keep moist in beds, planters, and containers for best performance.
Avoid drastic changes in moisture/saturation. Store undercover, out of direct sunlight. Protect from weed seed, petroleum products, and other contaminants.
Usually, no additional fertility is required. If roots have filled the container and fertility is needed, top-dress with Compost Plus and water-in. Raised beds can be annually amended with Manure Compost or Compost Plus.
Store in a neutral environment which encourages moisture retention and protects from UV light. For optimal performance of living soil we suggest using it within 6-9 months from date of purchase, although it may perform adequately for up to 12 months.
