Perennial Blend is the ideal choice for organic growers looking to fill raised beds and large containers. Crafted from mature compost, Perennial blend mimics naturally fertile garden soil with a plant-healthy fungal and bacterial profile.

Perennial Blend is particularly suitable for woody plants, shrubs, and herbs, and also performs well in vegetable and flower beds. This is the mix we recommend if you need a complete soil to fill a raised bed or establish a new bed. The robust soil structure resists shrinkage over time, and the high percentage of organic matter stands up to even heavy rainfall events.

Ingredients: All ingredients used in Perennial Blend have been approved for certified organic production. Our composting process meets the National Organic Program (NOP) standard requirements and our products are approved by Vermont Organic Farmers (VOF), the certification branch of NOFA-VT.

The backbone of all our soils is the mature compost that we craft on site. To that foundation, we add high-quality, organic inputs selected to produce reliably outstanding soil. Our soil recipes are iterative, as we frequently re-evaluate suppliers and ingredients against our goals of minimizing our environmental impact and producing a premium potting soil that growers can afford.

Best Practices

Prep For Use

No prep necessary. Keep moist in beds, planters, and containers for best performance.

Handling

Avoid drastic changes in moisture/saturation. Store undercover, out of direct sunlight. Protect from weed seed, petroleum products, and other contaminants.

Supplemental Fertility

Usually, no additional fertility is required. If roots have filled the container and fertility is needed, top-dress with Compost Plus and water-in. Raised beds can be annually amended with Manure Compost or Compost Plus.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store in a neutral environment which encourages moisture retention and protects from UV light. For optimal performance of living soil we suggest using it within 6-9 months from date of purchase, although it may perform adequately for up to 12 months. For more detailed information, please refer to our article on storage and handling.
