The BEST ways to use our #1 Blend!

Here at The Shed Organics, we're passionate about helping you achieve thriving, healthy gardens! Today, we're excited to share with you the best ways to use our #1 Blend, a powerhouse concoction designed to supercharge your gardening endeavours.


Let's dive right in:



1. Nutrient Tea:


Creating a nutrient-rich tea for your plants has never been easier.


- Simply mix 1/4 to 1 cup (60 to 235 grams) of our #1 Blend with every 5 gallons (approximately 19 litres) of water.


This carefully crafted blend provides a balanced nutrient solution, ensuring optimal plant growth and vitality. Our blend delivers essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, promoting vigorous growth, lush foliage, and abundant blooms. By brewing this tea, you're not just hydrating your plants – you're nourishing them from the roots up, ensuring they have everything they need to thrive.



2. Re-Amending Organic Soil:


Revitalise your used organic soil with our #1 Blend to maintain its fertility and health. Over time, soil can become depleted of essential nutrients, hindering plant growth and productivity.


- Incorporate 2 cups (470 grams) of the blend for every cubic foot (approximately 28.3 litres) of soil during the re-amendment process.


By replenishing these nutrients, you're creating a nutrient-rich environment that fosters healthy root development and robust plant growth. With each re-amendment, you're investing in the long-term health and vitality of your garden, ensuring bountiful harvests year after year.



3. Top Dressing:


Top dressing is a fantastic way to provide your plants with a steady supply of nutrients.


- For individual plants, simply apply 1/4 to 1 cup (60 to 235 grams) of our #1 Blend directly onto the soil surrounding each plant.


- In raised beds, evenly distribute 1/2 cup (115 grams) of the blend over every square foot of bed space.


Note: When top dressing, the volume is based on the top 6 inches of soil, not the entire container.


This method ensures a consistent release of nutrients, promoting strong, healthy growth and vibrant blooms. By focusing on the top 6 inches of soil, you're targeting the root zone, where plants absorb the majority of their nutrients, maximising their uptake and utilisation.



Our #1 Blend offers versatile solutions for all your gardening needs. Whether you're brewing nutrient tea, re-amending soil, or top dressing, our blend provides the essential nutrients your plants crave for robust growth and abundant harvests. Try it today and experience the difference in your garden!


We hope this gives you a clearer idea of the best ways to use our #1 blend in your garden.


Thank you, and happy gardening from The Shed Organics!
