Other Soil Amendments

Beyond some of the products already mentioned, we might use the following items to improve your garden soil:

  • Green Manures (“cover crops” such as buckwheat)
  • Coconut Coir
  • Crushed Oyster Shells
  • Glacial Rock Dust

These are all natural products. West Coast Foodscapes attempts to avoid using sphagnum peat since it is a resource that is not easily renewable. Most potting soils available contain peat.
