Common
benefits and uses for Garden-n-Bloom Planting Soil, Tree-n-Shrub
Planting Soil and Premium Turf Start™
Moisture
Retention / Aeration
A properly blended soil will increase moisture retention and
yet provide necessary drainage and aeration for healthy growth
in your plants’ root systems. Each soil product designed
and produced by Ground Effects has a specific use for every
type of planting. Try our Premium Turf Start™ for your
lawn, or Garden-n-Bloom Planting Soil for your vegetable and
flower gardens. Tree-n-Shrub Planting Soil is perfect for
acid loving plants like trees and shrubs.
Beneficial
Microbes
Compost or products containing compost, which include all
Ground Effects soils, are a good source of biological activity that
is necessary for healthy growth and natural resistance to
many plant diseases. These beneficial microbes work in the
soil as tiny agents transferring nutrients from the soil to
the plant’s roots and protect the roots from certain
diseases by colonizing around them. They come in many forms
and all are necessary for plant growth. The key to this diversity
in our soil products is a properly composted material that
has the right balance and level of active microbes. Our Ground Effects
Compost Specialist holds a position on the US Composting Council
and has many years of experience in managing and producing
the proper compost for many of our products. Our compost is
lab tested for nutrition and biological balance in the soil
foodweb, and we can assure you that Ground Effects compost is of the
highest quality available.
Organic
Source of Nutrition
The Garden-n-Bloom Planting Soil and now our Tree-n-Shrub
Planting Soil are both 100% organic and will supply your plants
with slow releasing nitrogen over a long period of time. These
products, along with Turf Start™, are formulated with
biological agents that enhance the soils’ "Food
Web". Each soil environment has been adjusted to either
bacterial or fungal dominance, depending on the type of planting
it will be used for. We have listed each below.
Garden-n-Bloom
Planting Soil: Adjusted to high levels of both bacteria
and fungi to accommodate leafy plants such as flowers and
vegetables.
Tree-n-Shrub
Planting Soil: Adjusted to a higher level of beneficial
fungi for planting trees and shrubs.
Premium
Turf Start™: Adjusted to a higher level of bacteria
for proper conditions necessary to grow grasses for a healthy
& beautiful lawn.
As
with all amended soils, you should have a regular routine
of fertilizing with organic or commercial fertilizers throughout
the growing season for best results.
