Such anticipation! Southern Indica Azaleas and Carolina jessamine are in bud and bloom, the weather is warming up nicely, and we couldn't be more excited about Spring arriving in Charleston. This month, we'd like to share a helpful guide for selecting Espoma Organic fertilizers by plant type to keep your flowers, shrubs, and trees in peak condition.

​Espoma's other organic 'tone' fertilizers can be used after planting, throughout the growing season. These easy-to-use granulated fertilizers are typically applied around the plant at the soil level. (see application instructions on each product label for frequency and amount to use)

Here in the Lowcountry, gardeners run into problems with mucky clay soil - a LOT. If you are having trouble getting plants to thrive in your garden beds or are struggling with brown patches in your lawn, unloosened clay soil or salt damage may be the culprit! Before throwing in the towel and assuming you have a brown thumb, consider this:

The health of your lawn and garden is only as good as the foundation on which it is built. This foundation in garden terms is, you guessed it - SOIL!

​If you have poorly draining clay soil or conditions in which the soil has lost nutrients over time, Espoma's Garden Gypsum will help condition your soil and bring it back up to snuff! And snuff is where roots begin to thrive, leading to healthier top growth for all of your plants, shrubs, and trees - and your lawn!
