Healthy soil is the key to healthy plants

The key to successful growing is soil quality. Healthy soil that is rich in organic material means healthy, disease resistant plants that require less watering and feeding.

recycleOrganic material is naturally recycled plant and animal matter that has been allowed to decompose slowly and return to the soil. In a word, COMPOST! The finest compost-based soils and mulches combine decomposed marine and plant matter teeming with the naturally occurring micro-organisms all plants need for healthy growth.

Here at Coast of Maine we are proud of the quality of our composts. We start with carefully designed and tested recipes and the very best ingredients. Just as important, we pay close attention to detail throughout the composting process. That means frequent turning, sampling and testing and a lengthy aging and curing process.

Remember, healthy soil is the key to growing healthy plants.

We use all natural ingredients

Fundy Blend is a dark, rich mixture of very old bark and sea-weed. We use soft and hardwood bark that has been allowed to compost naturally for over 50 years, so it is both well decomposed and finely textured.

seaweedWe also add a small amount of concentrated seaweed solids (ascophyllum nodosum or common rockweed). Seaweed is naturally hydrophylic (water loving) and helps to both enrich and retain moisture in your soil. Harvested from the coast of the Bay of Fundy, it has been the mulch of choice for coastal gardeners for centuries.

Fundy Blend is designed specifically for mulching perennials and annual beds and around roses, shrubs and trees. Fundy Blend is carefully formulated from natural ingredients to provide insulation, weed suppression, excellent drainage and a wonderful source of organic material.

Follow these few, simple steps

rakeMulching in early spring:
Every year in the spring lay down a layer of 2 to 3 inches of Fundy Blend around small perennials, annuals and newly planted flower and vegetable seedlings. With larger plants, shrubs and trees you can apply Fundy Blend to a depth of 4 inches. This will ensure maxi-mum protection and enhance appearance.

Mulching in mid summer:
Because the kelp in Fundy Blend helps hold moisture in your soil, you may want to add an additional inch or two in July to add further protection in the event of a hot, dry summer.

shovelMulching in fall:
Because the bark in Fundy Blend is almost completely decomposed, it can be dug into beds and gardens in the fall, providing your soil with a rich and immediate source of organic material. You may want to add a bag or two of Coast of Maine’s Quoddy Blend Lobster Compost to add additional organic material to your soil that will pay dividends in the spring.

planting3Soil conditioner:
You can also use Fundy Blend as a soil conditioner. With poor soils, work as much as 2 inches into the top 4 to 6 inches of soil. To maintain healthy soils and for heavy feeders like roses and most vegetables, 1 inch of Fundy Blend is sufficient. For normal feeders like herbs and flowering plants, 1/2 inch will do.
