What's in HVO Garden Nutrient Mix™
-
Washed Coco Coir
Made from renewable coconut fiber, coco coir helps balance water retention and airflow. It rewets easily and helps maintain more even moisture throughout the growing medium. Our washed coir provides a clean, low-salt starting point.
-
Black Volcanic Cinder
Sourced from the Big Island, porous volcanic cinder supports drainage and airflow while helping keep the blend loose. Its mineral composition and pore spaces also contribute to the growing environment.
-
HVO Bokashi Compost
Our farm-made fermented organic matter contributes humus and supports soil life. It helps create a biologically active growing environment and provides organic matter that breaks down over time.
-
HVO Organic Fertilizer Pellets
Our pellets combine biochar, composted cow manure, spent coffee grounds, clay, and dolomite.
- Biochar: A carbon-rich material that can hold water and nutrients and provide habitat for soil life.
- Composted cow manure: Contributes organic matter and gradual nutrient release.
- Spent coffee grounds: Add organic matter and a gentle nitrogen contribution.
- Clay: Helps retain moisture and nutrients.
- Dolomite: Supplies calcium and magnesium and supports pH steadiness.
-
Basalt Rock Fines
Finely ground volcanic rock from the Big Island contributes minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron, and silica, over time. It helps remineralize the growing medium.
-
Gypsum
Provides calcium and sulfur without raising pH. It also helps support a loose, crumbly soil structure.
-
Calcitic Lime
Supplies calcium, supports pH balance, and contributes to strong plant cell walls.
-
Alfalfa Meal
Plant-based nitrogen supports steady green growth and feeds soil life. Alfalfa also contains triacontanol, a naturally occurring plant compound.
-
Kelp Meal
Seaweed meal contributes potassium, trace minerals, and naturally occurring plant compounds associated with root development and overall plant vigor.
-
Soft Rock Phosphate
A slow-release source of phosphorus and calcium for strong roots, full blooms, and fruit.
-
Neem Seed Meal
A plant-based ingredient that contributes nitrogen gradually and adds organic matter to support soil life throughout the growing run.
-
Karanja Seed Meal
A plant-based, slow-release nitrogen source made from the Pongamia tree. Karanja meal is traditionally paired with neem meal in growing blends.
