Farmer D Organics Biodynamic Planting Mix

Farmer D Organics Biodynamic® Blend Organic Planting Mix is a unique, new potting medium made not only from the highest quality organic materials, but also from special Biodynamic ingredients.

Biodynamic refers to a science of life forces, which recognizes that soil itself is alive, and this vitality supports and affects the quality and health of the plants that grow in it.

Biodynamic® Blend Organic Planting Mix is ideal for filling raised beds and containers to be used for growing all types of vegetables, herbs, flowers, berries, fruit trees, annuals, perennials and more.

For container planting: Begin with a clean pot with a drain hole in the bottom. Fill pot about one-third full of Biodynamic® Blend Organic Planting Mix. Add and mix in organic fertilizer (see fertilizer recommendations below) either in the pot or pre-mix before potting. Gently place plant into pot making sure the roots are completely beneath the soil. Add more mix to fill, pressing gently to compact soil slightly around plant. Water well, but allow water to drain out of hole in bottom. Do not let the pot sit in a tray of water.

For raised beds: Fill raised bed to the top with Farmer D Organics Biodynamic® Blend Organic Planting Mix and blend in recommended quantity of organic fertilizer. Multiply the width x length x height to determine how many cubic feet of soil to use. As an example, for a 3' x 3' by 6" bed, multiply 3x3x.5 = 4.5 cubic feet.

For gardens and landscapes: Farmer D Organics Biodynamic® Blend Organic Planting Mix can be applied directly to the ground for gardens and landscape beds and will act as a compost and soil conditioner in one. Apply generously at approximately 1 cubic foot bag per 10 square feet.

For transplanting seedlings: Mix Farmer D Organics Biodynamic® Blend Organic Planting Mix with recommended organic fertilizer (see below), fill pots halfway, transplant seedlings gently into pots and fill with remaining soil. Water gently and thoroughly. General Fertilizer Recommendations
