Fertilizers & Soils
Having the right nutrients and ammendments for your plants is essential for optimal growth and health. That's why we make it a point to carry the top of the line fertilizers and soils. Our goal is to help you have success in your garden and to help your plants thrive. Whether you are planting a vegetable garden, trees, shrubs, flowers, or succulents, we have the right soil and fertilizer for you.
When selecting the right fertilizer for your plants, it is important to understand the numbers and the different types of nutrients listed on the labels. Most fertilizers have what is known as an N-P-K ratio. For example, you may see a fertilizer that has the following numbers 5-20-10. The first number always represents the percentage of nitrogen, the second number represents the percentage of phosphorus, and the last number represents the percentage of potassium that the fertilizer contains. Nitrogen promotes leaf and stem growth. Phosphorus promotes flowering and also root growth. And potassium primarily promotes root growth and strength.
In addition to nitrogen, phosphorus,
and potassium, many plants need other nutrients as well. Minerals like iron,
sulfur, maganese, and zinc as well as other trace minerals are important in
promoting the overall health of your plants. They can also improve fruit
quality and improve the appearance of your plants.
Below are links to some
of the products that we carry. For more specific information on when to use a
