Coast of Maine Sprout Island Seed Starter 16 qt.   • Benefits • • Description • • Specification • • Great Organic & Natural Soil for Seed germination, rooting, and plant cuttings • Enriched with compost, lobster meal, kelp meal, and worm casings • Natural slow-release nitrogen helps plants grow • Locally sourced from Maine! Organic Products from the Maine Coast Blended sphagnum peat moss, perlite, kelp meal, worm castings, and well-aged compost make up Sprout Island Organic Seed Starter. It contains mycorrhizae and is ready to use in cell packs* or flats, retaining moisture and aerating the soil naturally. It has a light organic fertilizer charge that promotes a biologically varied environment perfect for seed and root cutting germination. 100% Organic and All Natural Sprout Island Blend Organic & Natural Seed Starter is handcrafted to provide the ideal compost-based environment for germinating seeds and rooting cuttings, according to us. Follow these few simple steps Thoroughly moisten the mix with warm water before use. Make sure it is well mixed so that there are no dry areas but be sure not to make it too soggy. Fill the planting container to within 1/4 inch from the top and tap the container to slightly settle the soil. Plant your seeds according to the directions on the seed packet. Water in the seeds lightly without saturating the entire soil volume. Place in lighting and temperature conditions as per the seed packet. After the seeds have germinated, provide them with 12 – 14 hours of light per day, keeping them close to the light source to prevent leggy growth. After 3 weeks, top dress with organic plant food and water it in. Rooting Cuttings Choose green, non-woody stems for taking tip cuttings. Use a scissor or razor blade that has been sterilized in alcohol to make a clean cut. Place the cutting on a flat, hard surface and make a clean slice through the stem on a slant. Remove all but 1 or 2 leaves. With a pencil or pointed object poke holes into the moistened seed starting soil. Dip the node end of the cuttings into the water and then root powder if desired. Carefully place the cuttings into the holes you made in your seed starter soil and gently firm the soil around them. Place the container of cuttings into a plastic bag but don’t seal the bag completely, to allow some airflow. Place the bagged cell pack, tray, flat or another container in a warm spot but don’t put them into full sun until new growth appears and they can be removed from the bag. Check regularly to be sure there is not so much condensation on the top of the bag that it is dripping onto the seedlings. If this happens, the seed starter soil is too wet. Replace the bag and allow the soil to dry out a bit. Check your cuttings regularly in case they start to rot before they root. Remove any suspect cuttings as soon as you see rot. Once the cuttings have developed roots, they can be removed from the bag and planted into pots of their own filled with Stonington Blend™ Grower’s Mix or Bar Harbor Blend™ Potting Soil. Brand Name: Coast Of Maine Sub Brand: Sprout Island Organic Seed Starter Product Type: Seed Starting Soil Ingredients: 70 – 80% sphagnum peat moss, composted manure, fertilizer (see below) and mycorrhizae.

Espoma Organic All-Purpose Potting Mix 8 qt. • Benefits • • Description • • Specification • • Containers for both indoor and outdoor use • Sphagnum peat moss, humus, and perlite in a rich combination • Myco-tone® has been added to make it even better. • Earthworm castings, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, and feather meal are added to the mix. • 100% Organic All Natural HOW TO APPLY Espoma Organic All-Purpose Potting Mix 8 qt. • Choose a container that is larger than your plant's present container and has a drainage hole at the bottom, as well as a tray beneath it to capture any extra water. • Add a layer of tiny stones on the bottom of the container to prevent soil from escaping. • Fill one-third of the way with Espoma organic potting soil mix. • Mix in the required amount of Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus with the potting mix well. • Remove the plant from its present container with care and loosen the root ball carefully. • Fill the new container with more potting mix and center the plant in it. • Allow at least 1 inch between the pot's rim and the soil's surface. • Gently pat the mixture down and add more if necessary. Make sure the plant is planted at the same depth as it was in the original container. • Allow to drain after watering the plant thoroughly with a slow, moderate spray. Growing Instructions: Allow the soil to dry to the touch between waterings to avoid overwatering. Catch water as it drains from the bottom using a tray or saucer. Allowing plants to stand in water is not a good idea. Plants in outdoor containers may need to be watered on a regular basis (once per day in hot, dry conditions). Light: Some plants love to be in direct sunlight, while others prefer to be in shadow. To find the best exposure, look at the plant tag or ask at your local garden shop. Frequent watering may quickly remove nutrients from the root zone, therefore feeding is important. Starting two weeks after planting, feed plants with Espoma Organic Plant Food at least once a month during the growth season.
