VIDEO: How to Plant a Raised Bed Like a Pro with Farmer Nick

May 7, 2025/in Blog, Espoma Videos, Farmer Nick

We’re always excited to see our brand partner Farmer Nick (@farmernick) bringing his garden to life with organic fertilizer — and his latest reel is packed with great tips for every gardener!

In his recent project, Nick repaired his planting trug and got it ready for a fresh season of growth using organic fertilizer.

Here are his top takeaways:

  • ✅ Even if your soil still looks good, always amend it before planting — Nick uses Espoma Organic Garden-tone to recharge the soil and get it ready for seedlings.

  • ✅ Some fresh organic compost like Espoma Organic Land & Sea Gourmet Compost can also help boost the soil’s nutrient content.

  • ✅ Nick recommends mixing in an organic fertilizer like Espoma Organic Garden-tone with rich organic compost like Espoma Organic Land & Sea Gourmet Compost at least once a month during the growing season to keep plants fed and thriving.

  • ✅ Many gardeners forget that plants need regular feeding — consistent fertilizing leads to healthier plants and bigger yields.

  • ✅ Espoma offers specialized “Tone” fertilizers (like Tomato-tone, Rose-tone, and Plant-tone) so you can meet the unique needs of different plants.

Ready to help your garden thrive? Take a page from Nick’s playbook and feed your plants throughout the season!

VIDEO: Transplanting Magnolias 🪴🌺 with Wyse Guide

May 2, 2025/in Blog, Espoma Videos, Kaleb Wyse

Watch Kaleb Wyse from Wyse Guide as he demonstrates how easy it is to transplant magnolia trees in early spring. Kaleb carefully relocates his saucer magnolias, sharing plant care tips along the way.

Kaleb’s secret to successful transplanting? Mixing Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus directly into the planting hole. This organic blend is more than just a fertilizer; it’s enriched with beneficial microbes and mycorrhizae that help roots establish faster, resist transplant shock, and thrive long-term.

Why Choose Bio-tone Starter Plus?

  • Enhanced Root Development: The inclusion of both endo and ecto mycorrhizae expands the root system, allowing plants to absorb more water and nutrients.

  • Beneficial Microbes: These microbes break down nutrients in the soil, making them more accessible to plants, leading to healthier growth.

  • Organic and Safe: Made from natural ingredients without sludges or fillers, it’s safe for people, pets, and the planet.

  • Versatile Use: Ideal for all plantings, including flowers, vegetables, trees, and shrubs.

By incorporating Bio-tone Starter Plus into his planting routine, Kaleb ensures his magnolias have a strong foundation for vibrant blooms and resilience.
