Down And Dirty

Perfect For Germination

Berger Peat Moss:
The BM 2 Euro Germinating Mix provides the ideal growing conditions in developing healthy roots. The structure and particle size of the peat moss provides the roots with excellent air porosity and water-flowing capacity. BM 2 uses only selected quality sphagnum peat moss, and it is the base to having a solid foundation toward strong and healthy plants.

Growing/Potting Mix

Urban Organics:
Sweet Peet is a naturally nutritious, unique and versatile organic material made from virgin wood products, manure and plant fibers. It derives its deep dark color from naturally occurring tannins. Sweet Peet is more absorbent than hardwood mulches, and it reduces nitrogen borrowing when tilled in and around root zones.
