Seattle soil amendment for stressed plants
If your plants are looking less than their best, it might be time to consider soil amendments. In Seattle’s unique climate, where heavy rains and compacted soils can lead to stressed plants, amending the soil can make a significant difference. The solution? Applying organic materials like compost, peat moss, or well-rotted manure to improve soil structure, nutrient content, and moisture retention. Not only does this boost your plant’s health, but it also enhances your property’s curb appeal, safety, and eco-friendliness—all while saving you time on maintenance.
