Know before you buy
Yes, Fort Vee is specifically formulated for soil blocks, trays, and pots. Its texture and composition are designed to hold shape well while providing the necessary nutrients for early germination.
Absolutely. While it is optimized for nutrient-hungry vegetables like tomatoes and peppers, it is a high-quality, organic medium that works well for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor potted plants.
No, this is an all-natural, compost-based mix. It relies on organic matter to provide nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants to your plants rather than synthetic chemical additives.
It is excellent for heavy feeders because it is nutrient-dense. However, for plants that remain in the same container for an entire season, you may eventually need to supplement with additional organic fertilizer as the plant consumes the initial nutrients.
Each bag contains 20 quarts of potting mix, which is sufficient for filling several standard-sized nursery pots or a large seed-starting tray setup.
