Gardeners have always considered fish and shellfish to be nature's best fertilizer, but its pungent odor is a deterrent to even the most avid gardener. The dilemma has now been solved. A formula has been followed that combines crab chum with wood chips in a composting process that allows the nutritional value of the chum to be 'stored' in an odorless form for slow release. This compost, Chesapeake Blue, yields the advantages of a fish based fertilizer and eliminates all of the odor. Additional benefits to your garden come from the ability of Chesapeake Blue to improve the soil structure, allowing plant roots better aeration.
Sandy soil needs help retaining moisture.
Chesapeake Blue will help provide aeration and water flow to the roots. The advantages of Chesapeake Blue will result in more dynamic plant growth with the added organic benefit that provides lasting enhancement to your garden. Labelled for vegetable gardens, flower beds, potted plants, shrubs and ornamental trees and bulbs. Use approximately 20 pounds per 10 to 20 square feet of garden area. For potted plants use one part Chesapeake Blue with 3 parts good potting soil.
