Organically Approved Handcrafted Compost Blends

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

With the recent proliferation of high cost, handcrafted, organically approved soils in the urban gardening market, gardening consumers are more aware of what ingredients combine to make a healthy environment for plants to thrive.

Coast of Maine has been making handcrafted compost blends since 1996 using marine residuals, like lobster shells, that are rich in calcium and chitin.

Many years ago Dr. William Albrecht, one of the foremost authorities on the relation of soil fertility to human health, wrote about calcium in one of his many volumes of research.

“Calcium perhaps plays more roles in the overall health of both the plant and the soil than any other nutrient. If we get the calcium right in the soil, most of our work is done.”

At Coast of Maine we know that once we hand craft our soils our work is not done. When you place your order with us we will work to help you market your garden center with our expertise in social media in a way that you won’t receive from any other vendor.

I’ll come to your garden center myself and host the “Great Coast of Maine” giveaway to bring customers to you and stimulate sales.

Give me a call today and I’ll explain how we market your garden center while providing you with outstanding handcrafted, organically approved compost blends.

What Defines Your Garden Center and How Do Your Vendors Enhance your Brand?

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

Do the brands you carry reinforce your garden center brand and do your current vendors help you with reinforcing your brand?

At Coast of Maine we believe in doing much more than creating and distributing our hand crafted, organically approved compost blends.

We believe that it is your garden center’s brand that builds the Coast of Maine brand. Because of that we want to help you expand your brand.

We will help you with all your social media needs. We can even help you with video production.

I just finished editing a couple of videos for Ward’s Nursery & Garden Center in Great Barrington, Mass., Van Houten Garden’s in New City, NY and Sprague’s Nursery & Garden Center in Bangor, Maine. Go ahead and click on the links and let us know if we are helping them reinforce their brand.

We’d love to help you.
