Espoma Organic Fertilizers

3/1/2022

 

Find Your PLANT's Perfect Match This Growing Season!

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.

Get STARTED - What you'll need WHEN you plant:

​We highly recommend amending the soil in your planting area with Brownswood Premium Planting Mix  as well as a starter fertilizer such as Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus to give your new plants their best start. You can find our Planting Guide at the link below. It provides planting instructions and helpful information about watering and getting new plants established.

GROW & THRIVE - What you'll need AFTER you plant:

​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)

Azaleas, camellias, and gardenias:
Azalea-tone® organic fertilizer is formulated for all types of azaleas, camellias, and gardenias - plus other evergreen trees and shrubs!

Palms and tropical plants (including hibiscus!):
Organic Palm-tone® is specially formulated for palms and will also produce deep green foliage and larger blooms on tropical plants such as hibiscus.

​Herbs and veggies:
Organic Garden-tone® fertilizer provides a long lasting, slow-release feeding for delicious cool and warm season veggies as well as herbs.
​Annual and perennial flowers:
Get larger, more abundant blooms with organic Flower-tone® fertilizer. Use in garden beds, hanging baskets, or other planted containers.

​
All-purpose organic plant food:

Espoma Garden Gypsum

2/1/2021

 

If you have clay, you need it today!

Picture
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!

Espoma Garden Gypsum - Quick Facts

What? Espoma Garden Gypsum is an all organic, soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate in an easy to apply, pelletized form. Gypsum can be applied any time during the growing season.

Why? Helps loosen clay soils and minimize salt damage, promoting healthy root growth. Heavy clay surrounding a plant's root ball can prevent drainage which can cause the plant to drown.

Who/Where? Owners of properties from West Ashley to Mount Pleasant - or any location with heavy clay soil - will greatly benefit from treating their flower beds, vegetable gardens, and lawns with Espoma Garden Gypsum.
Visit the Brownswood Nursery Garden Center and speak with one of our Nursery Professionals to learn more about Espoma Garden Gypsum and our complete selection of Espoma Organic Garden Products such as additional single ingredient soil amendments, fertilizers, and planting mixes!
