Posy Power

You’ve often heard that the secret to a good garden is good soil. That’s why this powerful all-natural soil booster is Lavalette’s featured product. This soil amendment can be used for lawns as well as flower and vegetable gardens.

Posy Power, a complete professional flower bed mix, also contains a clay soil breaker -- a necessity in this hard clay-rich region. This special blend starts with the finest sphagnum peat. Straw bed horse manure is added for the natural fertilizer. Brewers grain, gypsum and lime are then added for conditioning. The mix is completely composted and steam sterilized to kill all weed seed and non-useful bacteria.

Mark Springer advises working Posy Power into the planting bed to enrich poor or clay soils. The www.posypower.net web site advises working 2 inches of Posy Power into the top 4 to 6 inches of soil in a new bed, or top-dressing an existing bed with 2 inches of Posy Power in late fall so the winter freeze and thaw can help the nutrients seep into the ground. For existing lawns, top-dress the grass with a half-inch of Posy Power in late fall.

Posy Power, produced by Premium Wood & Garden Products of Jackson, Ohio, is one of the few all-organic products that has a guaranteed analysis regulated by state governments. Since the mixture is only 15 percent water soluble, the fertilizing value of the nitrogen is added as the plant needs it. The product’s organic humus keeps the growing medium perfect for good conditioning by adding aeration and holding consistent moisture content.

It comes pre-moistened and alive with thermophilic micro-organisms to begin working on your existing soil immediately.
