Use Bumper Crop to get a Bumper Crop

If you live in our area of Delaware, you probably know what we mean when we say "oy vey!" in regards to our soil conditions. We dig into the hard ground and bring up that nasty orange red clay that gardeners have come to despise. Clay soil can be a tough obstacle to overcome. It retains a lot of moisture which can be a good thing but not every plant enjoys a lot of moisture and that is where soil amendments come in to play. A soil amendment when mixed in properly with the existing soil will help the plant adjust to the conditions in your yard. It will add nutrients to the area while freeing up some of that packed down waterlogged clay! There are numerous options to choose from when considering a soil amendment but, at Gateway, we believe there is no other choice but Bumper Crop from Coast of Maine. It contains mycorrhizae, worm castings, kelp meal, and dehydrated poultry manure. It is an organic product that is sponsored by Master Nursery and is great for planting vegetables, herbs, annuals, and perennials. Simply dig your hole and as you back fill, fill it in half and half with Bumper Crop and your existing soil. It is also a great way to condition an entire bed.
