What makes lobster and crab meal a valuable ingredient in Espoma compost?
Shellfish meal is naturally high in nitrogen, calcium, and chitin, a compound that stimulates beneficial soil microbes while suppressing harmful nematodes and fungal pathogens. Unlike plant-based compost ingredients, shellfish meal breaks down slowly, extending nutrient availability well beyond initial application and making Espoma Land & Sea particularly effective for heavy-feeding vegetables and flowering plants.
What is Myco-Tone and why does Espoma include both endo and ecto mycorrhizae?
Different plant species form relationships with different fungal types. Endo mycorrhizae colonize roots internally and benefit most vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Ecto mycorrhizae attach externally and support trees and shrubs. Including both in Myco-Tone means the compost supports a broader range of plants without requiring gardeners to identify which fungal type their specific plants need.
Can Espoma Land & Sea compost be used in containers without overwhelming plants?
Yes, its balanced organic formulation releases nutrients gradually, avoiding the concentrated doses that burn roots in confined container environments where nutrients can't disperse into surrounding soil.
