Calcium aids in plant cell wall formation and structure and helps regulate nutrient uptake through the roots and movement throughout the plant.

The fresh, earthy aroma of cedar is noxious to most insects - and even snakes! It's a natural way to keep these annoying pests out of your yard, patio or pool areas. Repels mosquitoes, ants, roaches, flies, and more. Scatter over the desired area - covers 3000 square feet. Lasts for weeks!

Crushed limestone is used to neutralize acidity in soils. Dolomitic lime is a slow release source of both calcium and magnesium, which improves microbial activity. Lime also helps plants use phosphorous more efficiently, which encourages root growth.

The calcium in lime aids in plant cell wall formation and structure and helps regulate nutrient uptake through the roots and movement throughout the plant. Magnesium is another essential mineral that helps in the formation of amino acids, vitamins, sugars, oils, and fats. It also encourages early growth and winter hardiness.

Earthworm castings are the best fertilizer on earth! Odorless & non-toxic - they improve water retention, aereation, and plant growth without the danger of burning delicate plants. Use alone or mix with soft rock phosphate or other amendments to boost root development. Or add to your pots.

Epsom salt is actually magnesium sulfate, a blend of minerals plants need for a stronger root structure and to facilitate the uptake of chlorophyll. Use as an ingredient in organic fertilizer, and in alkaline soils where magnesium deficiencies occur. Recommended by many master gardeners and landscape professionals.

Expanded shale is shale that has been fired in a kiln. As the material cools, cavities are left after gases escape, leaving porous light-weight chunks capable of absorbing water and releasing it slowly at a later time. These highly porous chunks provide aeration from within the shale particles. It's ideal for poorly aerated clay soils. You're plants will enjoy more extensive and healthier root systems than ever before.

Work Expanded Shale into all of your beds and pots. Recommended by Texas A&M.

Gypsum improves soil structure by allowing more oxygen and water to penetrate the soil. The higher water and oxygen penetration levels lead to improved root growth for stronger, healthier plants.

Gypsum also provides two key plant nutrients: calcium (20%) and sulfur (16%) for plant uptake. Gypsum is pH neutral and will not affect the pH of the soil. But it is very effective at counteracting sodium in alkaline soils.

An excellent alternative to mechanical aeration, it will loosen up compacted soils. Gypsum pellets readily dissolve into the soil. Apply in any season.

Kelp is the richest single source of trace minerals. Kelp meal is also very high in potash, as well as more than 70 other minerals, plant growth regulators, vitamins, hormones, and enzymes. These essential nutrients stimulate microbial activity and create a strong supply of naturally chelated nutrients.

Use in seedling mixes and potting soils to stimulate root development, stop transplant shock, boost growth, prevent fungal problems, and alleviate stress caused by fluctuations in temperature extremes. In soil, kelp creates a beneficial bond with nitrogen and phosphorous, releases locked-up minerals like calcium and magnesium, and is essential to the maturity of root crops, coles and roses. Use once a year as a fertilizer supplement, when preparing planting areas.

Water thoroughly after application. Wash off any fertilizer that comes into contact with the leaves of your plants.

Lava sand is actually pulverized lava rock. Lava sand can dramatically improves soil structure and moisture retention. Great for heavy clay soils! Work it into your beds or just spread it on top and watch it disappear!

Our shredded cedar mulch has a reddish-brown color and pleasing aroma. It contains cedar oil and therefore lasts longer than most mulches. Because cedar mulch has a fibrous texture, it tends to hold together on sloped surfaces.

Long-Fibered Sphagnum Moss is not peat moss, but rather a perennial plant that grows wild in the Central Wisconsin sphagnum bogs. Sphagnum is a renewable resource growing back in the same bogs every 5 to 7 years, so using long-fibered sphagnum does not destroy our precious wet lands.

Early Native Americans used the natural long-fibered sphagnum plant in every day life, including wound dressing, bedding and baby diapers. Its unique properties that allow it to absorb and hold 20 times its weight in water and repel bacteria, make it the best solution for many basic gardening needs.
