High-quality Fertilizer for Every Growing Season

Measure the bed and work from square footage rather than guessing. Every product page here lists a rate per 100 square feet and every bag size shows the area it covers, so the arithmetic is done for you. As a rough guide, a 12 lb bag of a granular feed treats about 400 square feet, which is a bed roughly 20 feet by 20 feet. If you are between two sizes, take the smaller one; fertilizer keeps better in the ground than in an opened bag.

Start when plants begin actively growing in spring, not while the soil is still cold, because nothing is taken up by a dormant root. Feed through the growing months at the interval on the product page, then stop about six weeks before your first expected frost so soft new growth has time to harden off. Compost is the exception and can go on any time of year.

Every product here is safe around edibles when used at the stated rate, and each product page carries its own safety note worth reading before you open the bag. The general rules are the same throughout: wear gloves, water the product in after spreading, and keep children and animals off the area until the surface is dry. Bone meal and manure-based products smell attractive to dogs, so water those in especially well.

Orders placed before 2pm on a working day leave us the same day, and anything later goes out the next morning. Delivery is typically two to four working days depending on how far you are from us. Bulky items over 40 lb travel on a pallet service, which adds a day and needs someone in to receive it, and we will tell you if that applies to your order before it ships.

We mill and blend in small batches rather than holding pallets of finished stock, and every bag is dated on the seam with the month it was made. Nothing leaves here more than eight weeks after milling. That matters most for organic blends and liquid feeds, where the biology and the trace elements degrade in a bag that has spent a year in a warehouse.

Unopened bags can go back within 60 days for a full refund, and we cover the return shipping. If you have opened a bag and it turns out to be wrong for your soil, tell us what happened and we will swap it for something that suits, or refund it, whichever you prefer. Anything that arrives split, damp or damaged is replaced immediately with no need to return it.
