All About It
Discover Alaska Earth Potting Soil's exceptional qualities, a premium blend Anchor Point Greenhouse produces. This unique potting soil is carefully formulated using a combination of Alaska organic soils, Canadian sphagnum, fish and seaweed compost, perlite, vermiculite, dolomitic, and limestone (pH adjuster), and a wetting agent. Experience the benefits of this unique blend that supports plant growth and provides a favorable environment for a wide variety of plants.
The secret behind the success of Alaska Earth Potting Soil lies in the presence of beneficial microbes derived from the composted ingredients. These microorganisms continually break down organics, making nutrients readily available to plants and acting as a defense mechanism against pathogens. The inclusion of composted seaweed enhances water-holding capacity, provides essential vitamins, contains auxins and hormones that stimulate plant growth and is believed to contribute to resistance against plant diseases and pests.
Why You'll Love It
- Versatile Applications: Alaska Earth Potting Soil is suitable for various gardening applications, including bedding trays, pots, hanging baskets, and propagation of perennials. It provides a high-quality growing medium for a wide range of plants.
- Nutrient Availability: The presence of beneficial microbes in the composted ingredients ensures a continual supply of nutrients for plant uptake, reducing the need for frequent fertilization.
- Favorable Water-Holding Capacity: The addition of composted seaweed improves water retention, helping to maintain optimal moisture levels in the soil for plant growth.
- Plant Defense Mechanism: The beneficial microbes act as a natural defense mechanism against pathogens, promoting healthier and more resilient plants.
How to Use It
- Open the package using scissors or a knife.
- Fill your container within 1/2 inch of the top with Alaska Earth Potting Soil, ensuring proper aeration and avoiding compaction.
- Seed or transplant your seedlings, add water, and place them in their designated growing area.
- Fertilization can be postponed compared to other brands, as the microorganisms in the potting soil will gradually break down organics for plant use.
- Adjust fertilization based on the plant growth rate and nutrient content analysis of the media and plant tissue. Exercise caution to avoid over-fertilization.
- Alaska Earth is unsuitable for plants requiring a pH below 5 or above 7.
- Avoid sterilizing Alaska Earth, as it would destroy the beneficial microbes and other beneficial components. Occasional weed or moss presence is not detrimental to plant health.
- Stored open bags may become contaminated by pathogens, pesticides, or weeds. Use the product as-is from the package.
