SOS Plant Food
What is this?
And why is it so special?
Here at thegreenerside like to showcase and emphasize natural transformative processes, such as taking your lawn and garden off of drugs, or composting, or the resurgence of community.
So what does this have to do with our line of premium natural plant food? Well, each of our SOS Plant Foods has a story, an origin and a purpose. And this is important when you want to know where things come from and why they exist.
You see, compost is not just compost.
There are many kinds of compost just like cooking oils, let’s say. Some composts have a set of properties more suited for annual vegetables, or perennial flowers, or grass, or evergreens. This is due to the type and proportions of the original waste material that was used to make it. So for example, if you want great growth for your annuals, you’d want a more bacterially dominant compost, made from less fibrous waste. And for most perennials, a more fungal dominant compost made from harder to decompose materials would be ideal.
Furthermore, variable feedstock or waste material can mean variable results from batch to batch. Consistent feedstock guarantees consistent end product.
So, in our opinion, it’s good to know how and where your plant food comes from.
We offer 2 kinds of worm compost:
SOS Annual and Perennial.
SOS Annual comes from Riverdale Farm in Toronto.
It’s a blend of straw, hay, sawdust and mixed animal manure that goes through a double composting process before being cured.
SOS Perennial comes from Uxbridge.
The worms are fed a mix of loam and chicken feed to create a fungally dominant compost more suited for perennials.
Either way you win because a ecological, local and sustainable process was used to make these fine organic plant foods.
Your lawn and garden will be enriched naturally.
We offer our composts for sale at select farmers markets in Toronto. We encourage you to buy locally whenever possible from vendors and retailers you feel you can trust.
