Purple Cow Organics

Changing the earth, one bag at a time

“Purple Cow is a sustainable soil amendment made from landscape trimmings, composted alfalfa, greensand, kelp meal, worm compost and other natural materials. A little of this activated compost goes a long way. Use it in your garden, container mixes or topdress the lawn. I used Purple Cow on a neglected daycare garden with compacted soil. The results were amazing. The children harvested vegetables all summer long.”

Milorganite

America's leading organic nitrogen fertilizer

“Whether you are an experienced or beginner gardener consider using Milorganite organic nitrogen fertilizer. I like it for several reasons. The low nitrogen slow release formulation makes it goof proof. Independent research results found the phosphorous is non-leaching, so it won’t pollute our waterways. And most importantly, it is safe for you, your children, pets and the environment.”
