Coast of Maine Quoddy Lobster Compost

Over the long weekend here in Rhode Island I finished my planting.  This year I have a mix of flowers and veggies.  For vegetables I am doing four types of tomatoes, three varieties of hot peppers, a number of herbs and sweet peas.  All of the gardening I do is container gardening on the terrace. 

Its fun because the soil is a mix of compost from my Naturemill along with leftover dirt from last year.  I mix the two together to form a wonderful organic soil for the vegetables and herbs.  This year I added another component into the mix that I am very excited about. 

Coast of Maine makes a number of organic natural soils and compost for a wide range of gardening needs.  I came across their Quoddy Blend Lobster Compost and thought it would be the perfect addition to my containers.

Quoddy Lobster Compost is made in New Brunswick Canada - a place near and dear to me where my family has had a house for over forty years.  The lobster compost combines lobster and crab shells along with aspen bark and other ingredients for a very rich conditioning compost that is perfect for tomatoes.

I added the compost to my containers and all of my plants seem to be very happy.  The compost is of a nice rich consistency with tiny bits of shells visible in the mix. 

I'm looking forward to delicious tomatoes and peppers later this summer.
