At Natureworks, we offer a wide variety of organic liquid and dry fertilizers, and soil amendments.  You can find them inside the retail shop and others are outside in our organic fertilizer shed at the edge of our parking area (convenient for loading).

The selection is constantly being updated and includes compost tea, vitamins and hormones, fish and seaweed blends and worm castings.  For specific requirements, we offer vegetable fertilizer, orchid food, rose fertilizer and soil additives such as micorrhizae, beneficial bacteria, and legume inoculant.

FIRST, TEST YOUR SOIL TO SEE WHAT’S GOING ON.

Soil Testing is recommended to determine what your soil needs and how much it needs.  Options are soil test kits that can be done at home or taking a soil sample to mail out for analysis and recommendations.
