Premium Compost-Based Potting Soil
Fort Light Potting Soil delivers all the benefits of a compost-based potting mix while adding extra drainage with perlite. As a complete germination and transplant mix, it works especially well for growers who use small-celled plastic flats or prefer a lightweight growing medium. As a result, Fort Light offers excellent drainage without sacrificing nutrition.
Balanced Nutrition from Start to Finish
Vermont Compost Company crafts Fort Light from mature compost to provide balanced nutrition from germination through transplanting. Additionally, this lightweight mix supports healthy root development and encourages vigorous seedling growth. A favorite among flower growers, Fort Light creates ideal conditions for germinating and growing even the trickiest seeds.
Fort Light or Fort Vee?
While both are excellent choices for seed starting and potting up, most growers eventually develop a preference between the two. If you’re looking for a lighter-weight soil mix that drains more quickly, especially in smaller-celled trays, Fort Light is an excellent choice. Furthermore, its improved drainage helps reduce excess moisture while promoting healthy root development.
Certified Organic Ingredients
Vermont Compost Company selects every ingredient in Fort Light to meet the requirements for certified organic production. In addition, the company’s composting process meets National Organic Program (NOP) standards, and Vermont Organic Farmers (VOF), the certification branch of NOFA-VT, certifies its products. Consequently, growers can use Fort Light with confidence in certified organic production systems.
