What Soil amendments are for:
Worm castings: beneficial microorganisms that improve soil nutrients, water holding capacity and soil structure. The microbes in castings actually make nutrients that are locked up in soil soluble making them usable and available to the plant, reducing the amount of inputs later in the season. Improves disease and stress resistance.
Biochar: soil fertility and nutrient storage for a long duration.
Humus: soil fertility, long term nutrient storage, and improves water retention.
Coco Coir: aeration, prevention of root rot, holds moisture and lightens clay soil.
Peat Moss: prevents nutrients from leaching out, and helps improve clay soil.
Perlite: lighten soil, and aerates soil.
Wood fines: feeds the beneficial microorganisms that live in the soil
Calcium oxide: breaks up heavy clay, reduces soil toxicity of heavy metals (from spraying) by reducing heavy metal solubility. Boosts nutrient uptake, Source of calcium for root tip development.
Class A Compost: top grade compost with full spectrum of living microorganisms. Improves disease resistance, soil fertility, moisture retention, and soil structure.
Alfalfa meal: enhance soil microbial activity, which supports plant health, improves moisture retention and improves compaction.
Blood meal: plant available nitrogen that’s slow release. Encourages humus production.
Bone meal: slow release fertilizer of calcium and phosphorus for root development, vigorous green growth and enhanced blooms
Feather meal: high nitrogen, steady slow release of nitrogen for long duration.
Fish bone meal: source of phosphorus for root and flower development.
Glacial rock dust: minerals that contain essential plant nutrients. Improves stress tolerance when combined with worm castings.
Mineralized phosphate: flavour enhancing in n vegetables. Improves bloom vibrancy and aroma of flowers.
Green sand: improves soil structure, breaks up hard clay, is a slow release fertilizer of 30 important trace minerals that plants need.
Gypsum: corrects calcium and sulphur deficiencies in soil and improves soil structure.
Leonarite: helps soil retain more moisture, stimulates soil microbiology, and is essential for nutrient cycling in plant.
Kelp meal: source of soluble potassium, enhances soil biology and beneficial to plant at all stages of growth.
Potassium Sulphate: low salt, aids in helping plant through environmental stress situations such as heat and cold tolerance. Enhances yields and improves soil structure.
Rock phosphate: long term soil fertility, strengthen cell walls in plant, improves winter hardiness, vibrancy enhancing in flowers.
Helpful information about castings:
Chitinase Production: Earthworms produce chitinase, and their digestive process transfers it into their castings.
Plant Absorption: When you apply castings to soil, plants absorb these beneficial microorganisms and enzymes, including chitinase, into their tissues.
Pest Deterrence: When pests (like aphids, spider mites, or whiteflies) feed on the plant's sap, they ingest the chitinase.
Exoskeleton Dissolution: The enzyme dissolves their chitin-based exoskeletons, leading to their death.
Why we choose this pre blended product on Hotchkiss Flower Farm to reduce costs.
We have found this product contains all of the beneficial soil amendments we are always wanting to add to our soil or seeds starting recipes. Every year, prior to switching to this product, our costs to purchase individual product to amend was astronomical, even in bulk. Things like feather & bone meal, alfalfa meal, glacial rock dust, castings, compost, perlite, coco coir, peat, gypsum, humus, greensand were always in the lineup of purchasing individually. It adds up fast. This product already contains all of those individual ingredients, which reduces costs substantially. More than that, it reduced a lot of time spent measuring and adding those individual products, or time making custom seed starting blends. Time spent ordering and taking inventory was also freed up by using this one product that has it all and simplifies things. Using this product along with Premium Liquid Extract throughout the season has also eliminated the costs of needing to purchase organic pesticides. There has also been an improvement in water retention when used as a soil amendment, reducing time spent watering throughout the season. When it is all added up at the end of the year, hands down, switching to this product was an efficient, cost effective way to grow quality flowers.
