This potting mix made by Vermont Compost Company is by far one of the best on the market. It is a composted manure based potting mix developed for organic growers who want a growing mix with the handling and watering characteristics of a peat-perlite mix. Fort Light is desirable for growers using smaller celled flats and want a complete germinating and transplant mix. Blended from composted manure, blonde horticultural grade sphagnum peat moss, perlite, blood meal, kelp meal, steamed bone meal, gypsum and washed coconut coir.

• Directions

  Prep For Use: Wet product with warm water a few hours prior to planting or soil blocking. This allows the soil to stabilize and prevents soil from washing out of pots or trays.
  Handling: Avoid drastic changes in moisture/saturation. Store under cover, out of direct sunlight. Protect from weed seed, petroleum products, and other contaminants.
  Supplemental Fertility: Usually, no additional fertility is required. If roots have filled the container and fertility is needed, top-dress with Compost Plus and water in.
  Storage and Shelf Life: Store in a neutral environment which encourages moisture retention and protects from UV light. For optimal performance of living soil we suggest using it within 8-12 months from date of purchase.
