Cowsmo Potting Mix (green bag) is a sand-free mix designed for use in seed starting. It is meant especially for starting plants in small containers that will then be transplanted into larger containers or into the ground. The Green Mix is also ideal for soil blocking, because it contains materials that hold together well after they are stamped into blocks. It is sand-free.
The ingredients in the Green Potting Mix include Peat, Cowsmo Compost*, perlite, rock phosphate, meat and bone meal, and kelp, which are all sourced from Wisconsin and Minnesota and mixed and packaged on-site.
1.5 cu ft bag.
*Cowsmo compost is made from dairy manure on a blacktop surface using the windrow system. It is organic compost is made from manure rather than leaves and twigs, which gives the compost nutrients for crop growth, unlike leaf compost. Because the compost is made on a blacktop surface, sand and pests do not get into the compost. Cowsmo compost is odorless and relatively weed-free.
