What to add to soil for more flowers?
Before each bed is planted, we top dress it with 3-4” of compost and a generous application of a high quality organic fertilizer (9-3-4) made from bone meal, cottonseed meal, feather meal, kelp meal and rock powders. A blend of 50% organic compost and 50% aged pine bark mulch offers a great formula for a lively and productive perennial garden bed. The compost provides the soil with essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This helps your plants grow, bloom and thrive.
What is the best organic matter to add to soil?
Chicken manures are the most powerful, but horse, sheep ,cow, all well-aged will do fine. I suggest in the future you purchase an inexpensive composter (around $50 for a simple one). They are made from renewable ingredients which will always be available. Naturally occurring organic fertilizers include animal wastes from meat processing, peat, manure, slurry, and guano.
