Blue Hen Organics Soil Amendments can dramatically increase the health of the soil in your lawn, landscaping bed, or garden.  Using Blue Hen Organics Soil Amendments can:

• Increase the soil's percentage of valuable organic matter;
• Build and improve the structure of your soil;
• Improve the moisture holding capacity of your soil;
• Improve drainage in heavy clay soils;
• Improve the soil's porosity and aeration to the root zone;
• Introduce huge populations of beneficial micro-organisms into your soil; and
• Provide slow release nutrients and minerals to your soil and plants.

Our soil amendments can be used as a landscaping bed soil amendment (apply at rates of 3 - 6 cubic yards per 1,000 square feet), as a component of a landscape backfill blend, or as a turf topdressing (1 CY/1,000 SF). Our soil amendments are carefully screened to ensure good particle size and can be screened to 3/4” or 3/8” depending on the application requirements.
