Feed the Soil First for Long-Term Health

 

Cape Cod soils tend to be low in organic matter and quick-draining. Our programs focus on carbon-rich inputs, slow-release nitrogen, kelp/seaweed extracts, and bio-stimulants that increase microbial activity. Healthier soil means stronger roots, better drought tolerance, and fewer weeds over time.

 

What We Apply (and Why)

 

  • Compost & humates – boost CEC and water-holding capacity

  • Organic nitrogen (feather meal, composted manure) – slow, steady growth

  • Kelp/seaweed – micronutrients + stress resistance for coastal conditions

  • Molasses/biostimulants & compost teas – feed beneficial microbes

  • Minerals & lime as needed after soil testing to correct pH

 

Seasonal Program Outline

 

  • Early Spring: Soil wake-up + microbe feed

  • Late Spring: Growth push with slow-release N

  • Summer: Stress-shielding kelp and light feeding

  • Early Fall: Root-building and organic matter

  • Late Fall: Winterization & biology support

 

Benefits: Safer for kids and pets, reduced runoff, improved color, fewer disease issues, and longer-lasting results than quick-salt synthetics.

FAQs


Will organics green up as fast?

Color improves within 1–3 weeks; soil benefits compound each season.


Is this safe near ponds, bays, and shellfish beds?

Yes—properly timed, slow-release organics lower runoff risk.


Do you combine with irrigation tuning?

Yes, watering depth/frequency is part of every plan.
