Coast of Maine® Planting Soil for Tomatoes & Vegetables

Conditioning & revitalizing soil
Organic & Natural Planting Soil for Tomatoes & Vegetables is the ideal soil conditioner to improve and revitalize the soil in and around your vegetable garden beds. It is naturally lightweight and contains just the right ingredients for your tomatoes and vegetables.

New & existing garden beds
To maintain healthy soils, apply Organic & Natural Planting Soil for Tomatoes & Vegetables every year. This is best done in the spring when prepping to seed or transplant and again mid-season. There are generally two different ways to use this product. For improving soil structure (sandy, compacted or clay soil), work a 2” layer into the top 4” to 6“ of soil before planting. Alternatively, if you have been amending your garden plot and have fairly loose soil to begin with, and have cleared the bed out of debris, a top-dressing application is recommended. Add a 2” layer on top of the soil and seed or transplant directly into it. This will dramatically reduce the number of weed seeds that germinate from the native soil and mean less weeding for you!

For planting in holes
Fill the planting hole with equal parts of Organic & Natural Planting Soil for Tomatoes & Vegetables and the surrounding soil, tamping lightly around the plant. Be careful not to pack the soil down around the plant, as this eliminates valuable airspace for the roots. Instead, water the plant to settle the soil, adding more soil if needed. Water thoroughly and regularly until the plant has established itself. Feed plants with an organic plant food as needed.

• Composted manure
