Can you believe that spring is here? I am starting to see green sprouting up everywhere and decided it was time to plant some flowers of my own. I haven’t always done well with flowers in the past, but I would love to be able to sit on my balcony and see some pretty flowers so I am giving the gardening thing another try…
Scott’s sent me a bag of Expand ‘n Gro™ and I was beyond excited! I need anything and everything I can so that my garden can get big and beautiful. I love that It expands up to 3 times when mixed with water AND it feeds plants for up to 6 months!
The first thing I noticed about Expand ‘n Gro is how light weight it was. I picked up the bag and it was like holding a pillow. Expand ‘n Gro is made from Coir, a light weight and 100% natural material that comes from coconut husks. Who knew you could grow a garden with coconut husks?
Weather you are planting in pots or in‐ground, the absorbent coir fibers help ensure that water is used efficiently. Expand ‘n Gro retains up to 50% more moisture than basic potting soils and then releases water as plants need it, to help prevent over or under watering. Since moisture and nutrients must be able to reach plant roots, proper air space and circulation in soil is critical for plant health. Tilling this planting mix into native soil can reduce the soil’s bulk density – making it up to 40% lighter, and creating up to 90% more air space. The result is more workable native soil with better water holding ability, moisture distribution, and drainage, all of which ultimately creates an improved rooting environment for plants.
