Organic Mechanics Planting Mix Compost Blend Review

When I decided to start a vegetable garden, I honestly had no idea what I was doing. I knew it would be kind of cool to be able to go out into my backyard and pick something I grew. After lots of YouTube videos, and lots of trial and error, I quickly learned how important it was to choose the best bagged compost for vegetable gardens.

I came across the line of garden care line from Organic Mechanics Soil Company at one of the Whole Foods Markets stores in New Jersey. They had several products from the brand, but the Organic Mechanics Planting Mix Compost Blend sold me based on their ingredients and personal story shared right on the bag.

In addition to the Planting Mix Compost Blend, I bought 2 bags of Organic Potting soil, 2 bags of their earthworm castings, and a couple new plants Whole Foods had positioned next to the Organic Mechanics display to add to my collection.

When I opened up the bags, I could automatically tell the difference in quality of the products compared to what I’d been using before.

The organic matter included in Organic Mechanics products makes it one of the best line of garden care products I’ve tried over for my indoor plants or vegetable garden.

How To Use Compost In A Vegetable Garden

The best thing about Organic Mechanics (other than the superior quality of the products themselves), products are the great packaging. More specifically, the very easy to follow instructions placed right on the back of each bag. This is perfect for beginners and those who are new to using organic compost that they did not make themselves.

On the Compost Blend package, you will find recommendations to use either 50% of the compost and 50% of topsoil or up to 70-75% compost. This combination can help improve the chance for nutrient uptake for the growing plants.

These super clear instructions makes it easy to know how much compost to use in vegetable gardens.
