Ingredients
Nantucket Gold Compost™
Existing native soil
Sand (only if soil is compacted or heavy)
water
Directions
Start with existing native soil as the base.
Blend in 1 part Nantucket Gold™ Compost to 2 parts native soil.
If soil is compacted or not free-draining, add up to 1 additional part sand to loosen structure.
Use mixture in planting holes or lightly amend the planting area.
Water thoroughly at planting.
Timing
Fall: ideal for native plant root establishment
Spring: acceptable with consistent watering
Why it works
Native plants prefer lean, well-drained soils. Compost supports root establishment and microbial life, while sand is used only when needed to maintain proper drainage and avoid overly rich conditions.
