Not all garden soils are equal and a plant’s health is directly related to the soil it is planted in. Amending the soil before planting creates a healthy biology in the soil that will nourish and support it throughout the growing season. We recommend Master Nursery Bumper Crop Natural & Organic Soil Builder, an all-purpose, pre-fertilized planting & garden soil amendment.
