For new and existing garden beds:
Apply Cobscook Blend Organic & Natural In-Ground Garden Soil every year. This is best done in the spring when prepping to seed or transplant and again mid-season. There are generally two different ways to use this product:
- For improving soil structure (sandy, compacted, or clay soil), work a 2" layer of Cobscook Blend into the top 4" to 6" of soil before planting.
- For established beds with loose soil, clear out any debris and then top dress with a 2” layer of Cobscook Blend. Seed or transplant directly into the added soil. This will dramatically reduce the number of weed seeds that germinate from the native soil, which means less weeding for you!
For new and existing garden beds:
Fill the planting hole with equal parts of Cobscook Blend and the surrounding soil, tamping lightly around the plant. Be careful not to pack the soil down around the plants, as this eliminates valuable airspace for the roots. Instead, water the plant to settle the soil, adding more soil if needed. Water thoroughly and regularly until the plant has established itself. Feed plants with an organic plant food as needed.
