**New for 2021** Professional Grade Organic Seed Starter, see below for details

Bio-Charge is blend of wood biochar, compost, and coir. It contains a minimum of 20% biochar that is charged with liquid fish fertilizer and inoculated with endo and ecto-mycorrhizal fungi. We also include our compost and worm castings to provide an additional boost of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. Finally, we mix in coconut coir to get the nutrient levels to a good balance for the mycorrhizal fungi, and the extra volume makes it easier to measure and spread the product consistently over a large area.

This product is great for working into your garden beds, or giving your potted plants or seed starting mix a bio-boost. 

Ingredients: Coconut coir, worm castings, wood biochar, fish emulsion, endomycorrhizal fungi.

Directions: Work a ¼ inch layer of biochar into soil for a light application, or a ½ inch layer for a heavier application. 1 cu ft bag covers 25-50 sq ft.

This is an all-purpose fungal inoculant that we use in our own Bio-Charge and Super Soil. It contains both endo and ecto-mycorrhizal fungi, so it can be used on either your annual veggies and flowers, your perennial shrubs and tress, and your lawn.

A little goes a long way. You only need one teaspoon of inoculant per linear foot of garden space, and this half-pound jar contains approximately 70 teaspoons. If you’re buying a yard of our square foot garden mix or garden soil, consider adding this on to your order to improve the microbial life of your garden.

Over the years, we have come across opportunities to keep some non-compost items out of the landfill.  The items below are great for use around the garden, or maybe you can find other uses for them.

We know, its kind of a random thing for a compost operation to have.  But, we work with a coffee roaster who gets coffee delivered in these bags - so we though we should try to find a home for them.  They are made from burlap and are 27" x 38".  If you want to use them at home, in the garden, or for a cool craft project then grab a few.

Food Grade Barrels -  OUT OF STOCK - They used to hold coffee flavoring (French Vanilla or Hazelnut). You would need to wash them out in order to get rid of the nice scent. We have blue drums available right now. There are two 2" screw caps on top. $25 each.

Non-food Grade Barrels - These used to hold inks and soaps, which will continue to leach from the plastic even after rinsing. Do your own research to make sure that these barrels are suitable for your intended use. We have blue drums available right now. There are two 2" screw caps on top. $10 each.

Available for pick-up in Aberdeen, MD
