Ingredients

Composted forest humus, sphagnum peat moss, Pacific Northwest sea-going fish emulsion, crab meal, shrimp meal, earthworm castings, sandy loam, bat guano, granite dust, Norwegian kelp, and oyster shell (for pH adjustment).

Application

Container Planting: Fill containers with Ocean Forest potting soil. Plant seedlings or transplants directly into the mix. Water thoroughly after planting.

Transplanting: Use as transplant medium for moving seedlings to larger containers. The nutrient-rich formula supports rapid establishment.

Indoor Growing: Ideal for indoor plants, houseplants, and container gardens. Provides sustained nutrition for 3-4 weeks before supplemental feeding is needed.

Seed Starting: Can be used for seed starting, though some growers prefer to dilute with perlite or a lighter mix for delicate seedlings.

Benefits

The organic ingredients provide slow-release nutrition, reducing the need for frequent fertilization during early growth stages. Light, aerated texture prevents compaction and promotes healthy root development. Beneficial microbes from earthworm castings improve nutrient cycling and plant health. The blend is pH-adjusted for optimal nutrient availability across a wide range of plants.
