Description

Why Use Our Flower and Vegetable Mix?

As you ready your garden for a new crop, it’s important to replenish the nutrients that were leached out of it last year, especially if you don’t routinely rotate your crops or fertilize regularly. Well-decomposed composts such as our flower and vegetable mix improve the soil in a number of ways – starting with nutrients. While some forms of additives can actually take nitrogen out of the soil, our flower and vegetable compost mix adds nitrogen back intothe soil, giving your plants the best chance of growing strong and healthy.

Additionally, compost mixes aerate the soil from the inside out as they decompose. By mixing our flower and vegetable mix into your soil before planting, you start off right by creating spaces for the small roots of seedlings to seek out water and nutrients without being blocked by hard, heavy soil. Without amending your soil with a compost mix, you run the risk of plants being stunted or unable to grow due to poor soil structure.

Flower and Vegetable Mix Good For All Types of Soil

 

Whether your soil is sandy or clay-based, our all-natural flower and vegetable compost mix can benefit your plants with improved nutrient content and soil structure. In sandy soils, for example, the compost can help slow drainage and allow your plants to soak up more moisture. In soils with a higher clay content, the compost can help to improve drainage and break up clods of dirt to allow roots freedom of movement and avoid oversaturation of plants.

How Much Flower and Vegetable Mix Do You Need?

The precise amount of compost mix that you will need depends on the quality of your soil. If you have not recently amended it with a similar compost additive, count on needing a 4 to 5 inch layer of the flower and vegetable mix (which will then be mixed into the soil). If you amend your soil each season, you will only need a 2 to 3 inch layer. For garden beds that are planted each year, simply work the flower and vegetable mix into the soil before you plant your seeds or starters. For more permanent beds (like those around trees and shrubs), just spread the flower and vegetable mix over the soil (similar to mulch) and work it into the soil only to the depth of an inch or so to avoid disturbing extant root systems.

  3. Carin –

    Hello, I need 60 cubic feet of garden soil for my new raised beds for vegetables. Blue Hills Nursery recommended that I order it in bulk from you to get a better price. I live in Whitter near Whitier Blvd. and Norwalk Blvd. will you please give me an idea what it would cost if you could deliver it? Thank you.

    • Whittier Fertilizer –

      Carin, our Flower & Vegetable Mix is $39.00 per cubic yard and delivery to Whittier is $70.00 with a 3 yard minimum. 60 cubic feet equals about 2 ¼ yards. The minimum for a delivery is $203.83 whether you want 2 ¼ or 3 yards. {All rates vary on the amount purchased and are subject to change periodically}

  4. Dave –

    Is your flower/veggie mix a good choice for filling raised planter boxes that will be used for a vegetable garden? Do you sell it in bags, or only bulk?

    Thanks,
    Dave

  5. Dave –

    What are the ingredient for this Flower and Vegetable soil? Do you have the Item number?

  6. Tamara –

    What type of soil mix would you recommend to be blended with clay-like soil? We will be planting thyme ground cover, trees, and plants in it. We’ll need about 2.5 cubic yards. Please also let me know what it would cost to be delivered to Highland Park in the zipcode 90042.

    • Whittier Fertilizer –

      Tamara, I would recommend our Planter Mix to enrich clay soil. It is $28.00 per cubic yard, however delivery to Highland Park has a $100.00 delivery charge and a 5 yard minimum. 2.5 yard will fit in a full sized pick up truck. {All rates vary on the amount purchased and are subject to change periodically}

  7. Jon –

    I’m looking for two cu yards of planter mix for a vegetable box. I live in Long Beach. How much would it be with delivery?

  8. Joe –

    two questions: (1). What type of soil do you recommend for raised vegetable beds/planters? (2). Do i use the same soil to fill the complete planter… The depth is 9 inches?

    • Whittier Fertilizer –

      Joe, we would recommend filling the entire planter with our Flower and Vegetable Mix. Cost is $40.00 per cubic yard. If your planter was 12” or more deep, you would backfilll with top soil first. {All rates vary on the amount purchased and are subject to change periodically}

  9. Sylvia Chang –

    when I made raised bed in May , I didn’t mix with native soil. it’s seems drain too fast , can I add some soil in order to retain water better ? my neighbor is digging their ground to build a new house , can I add some of their soil into Flower and Vegetable Mix ? or just add more compost will improve the drainage problem?

    • Whittier Fertilizer –

      Sylvia, if you want to slow the drainage, you can add soil or peat moss. Both will retain water and should help.

  10. Sylvia Chang –

    thank you for reply, BTW, can I use Flower and Vegetable Mix only which I bought from you before to make a new bed , is this workable ? if it is better to mix with some soil that we dig from our back yard , how much soil I need mix with ?

    • Whittier Fertilizer –

      Sylvia, Flower and Veg Mix is fine to plant into. You shouldn’t need to add soil, only a starter fertilizer when you plant.

  11. Gayle Brandow –

  15. Steve C –

    I know that being OMRI certified and being free of chemical additives may be the same basic thing, but without the official government certification. What I guess I am wondering is, does your flower and vegetable mix have added chemicals, or how do you make it. Also, what would be the delivery charge and minimum to La Habra (90631, Imperial & Euclid). Thanks.

    • Whittier Fertilizer –

      Steve, we don’t add any chemicals to any of our mixes. Flower and Veg is fir bark, peat moss, pumice, sand and top soil. Cost is $40.00 per cubic yard. Delivery to La Habra is $80.00 with a 5 yard minimum. {All rates vary on the amount purchased and are subject to change periodically}

  16. John O –

    We have three new planter boxes that will need about 7 yards to fill. Would you recommend a base of about 6 inches of your top soil then top with about 6 inches of your Flower and Vegetable mix? We live in Altadena; do you deliver to my area? Please give me your recommendations and will you please give me a price quote? Thank you, John

    • Whittier Fertilizer –

      John, we normally recommend 1 foot of Flower & Veg Mix for a top layer. The Flower & Veg is $40.00 per cubic yard. Top Soil is $18.00 per yard. Delivery to Altadena is $90.00 with a 5 yard minimum. {All rates vary on the amount purchased and are subject to change periodically}

  17. John O –

    Thank you, John

    • Whittier Fertilizer –

      John, the Flower & Veg is $3.60 per 1 cubic foot bag and the Top Soil is $1.80 for a 1 cubic foot bag. {All rates vary on the amount purchased and are subject to change periodically}

  26. Craig –

    Hello, I have a raised garden plot that measures out 124″ x 156″ and has a depth of 12″. I think this calculates out to 5.389 cu. yds. It will be for vegetables. What would you suggest for soil(s) and what kind of price can you give me including delivery. I live in Whittier near Lambert Ave and Gunn St.
    Also we seem to have something in our soil that causes our fruit to develop a brown spot near the base of the fruit. Do you have kits to analyze soil or should I have this done by a nursery before purchasing soil? We have a heavy clay soil here btw. Thanks.

    • Whittier Fertilizer –

      Craig, per your measurements, I get 4.97 cubic yards. 5 yards of our Flower Vegetable Mix @ $40.00 per yard + $70.00 delivery to Whittier would give you a total of $294.30. As for the brown spots on your fruit, we would need a little more info. I suggest that you call our store and ask for David or Ernie. They are both very knowledgeable and can help you. 562)699-3461. {All rates vary on the amount purchased and are subject to change periodically}
