How Tomato & Vegetable Blend supports soil
Biochar helps support soil structure and water and nutrient retention around tomatoes, vegetables, and herbs. Its porous structure creates habitat for beneficial soil microbes.
The blend combines biochar with wood compost, humic acid, mycorrhizae, and beneficial bacteria in a ready-to-use mix for edible garden projects.
How to use Tomato & Vegetable Blend
For containers: use the blend straight as a potting mix, or mix equal parts blend and potting soil by volume.
For garden beds and raised beds: mix equal parts blend and existing soil by volume. One scoop of each makes a 50/50 mix. Mix thoroughly when refreshing tomato rows, vegetable patches, or other planting areas.
No additional charging is needed. Fill your container or mix with soil as directed, then plant and water thoroughly. Continue fertilizing as appropriate for your plants and soil conditions.
