What We Do

Each soil blend at Hohstadts starts with the compost.  We have two composts offered at Hohstadts.  The Organic Compost is comprised of mushroom compost, organic steer manure, and sawdust.  It is light and well drained.  The Forest compost, which is certified organic, is made from dairy and poultry manure, rich hull ash, feather meal, and wood humus.  This too is a well draining compost that has been a great addition to our soils.

Using a blend of the Organic Compost and Forest Compost, we then amend the soil according to the seven different recipes we have.  We are proud to offer a variety of mixes for gardeners to choose from.  Five of our mixes are for planting, and two our Amendment Mixes.  These, amendment mixes are designed to reinvigorate older soil and get your garden ready for the season.
