Description
Give your raised beds and containers a living, ready-to-plant foundation with Coast of Maine Castine Blend Organic & Natural Raised Bed Mix. This OMRI Listed growing mix comes ready to use straight from the bag, so you can fill a new raised bed, refresh a planter box, or top off tired soil and start planting the same day. It is blended for vegetables, herbs, and flowers, with the structure, drainage, and moisture-holding power your plants need to take off and keep producing all season.
Key Features
- Ready to use: Fill beds, planters, and containers and plant right away, with no mixing or amending required.
- OMRI Listed for organic growing: Grow food and flowers you can feel good about.
- Worm castings and mycorrhizae: Feed the living soil and help roots take up water and nutrients.
- Biochar and greensand: Improve long-term soil structure and hold onto nutrients between waterings.
- Kelp meal plus lobster and crab shell meal: Add natural, slow-release nutrition sourced from the coast of Maine.
- Balanced structure: Combines water retention, drainage, and aeration so roots can breathe and never sit soggy.
Applications
Use Castine Blend to fill new raised beds and planter boxes, refresh container gardens, or revitalize beds at the start of the season. It is ideal for growing tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens, and root crops, as well as herbs and annual or perennial flowers. Mix it into existing garden soil to improve tilth, or use it on its own as a complete growing medium. One 1-cubic-foot bag fills a small planter or tops off an established bed; for a new raised bed, combine several bags to reach a planting depth of 8 to 12 inches.
