Know before you buy
Yes, this product is OMRI listed, meaning it meets the standards required for use in certified organic gardening.
Absolutely. The Quoddy Blend is well-suited for lawn top dressing, helping to improve soil structure and provide nutrients to the grass roots.
When properly incorporated into the soil, the compost should not attract pests. It is processed to ensure it acts as a nutrient-rich amendment rather than a food source for animals.
The blend of compost, peat moss, and aged bark improves soil structure by balancing water retention and aeration, which creates a better environment for root development.
This is designed as a soil amendment. For the best results, mix it into your existing garden soil or use it as a top dressing rather than planting directly into the bag.
