Coast Of Maine Product Lineup

Sherry Harrah:

I’m Sherry Harrah with Home Show Garden Pros, and I’m here today with Bob from Coast of Maine and we want to share with you the amazing soil line of Coast of Maine. We talk on the show all the time, Bob, about the importance of amazing soils.

Bob:

Absolutely.

Sherry Harrah:

What makes Coast of Maine so amazing?

Bob:

Hey, the great thing about Coast of Maine is first and foremost, we believe that organic builds life. What happens below the ground benefits, you see those benefits above the ground. That’s really important. That’s growing great food for your family that’s growing. Beautiful flowers for the community for your yard, absolutely important. The unique thing about Coast of Maine product is probably its formulation. We’ve taken that formulation developed in New England and we’re spreading the love, so to speak. Now, we’re going to take that to other parts of the country utilizing regional inputs, but still off of that great New England formulation.

Sherry Harrah:

Not necessarily shipped here from the coast of Maine?

Bob:

That’s correct.

Sherry Harrah:

Okay, so when you say locally sourced, what kind of materials are we finding local in the Gulf Coast of Texas?

Bob:

Yeah, even still, we’re always going to be looking at some type of aged bark is really important. Our product is going to be a little bit unique in terms of what you would find in many garden centers. Let me walk through that for a second. First and foremost, you’ll have value soils and we’re talking organic here. You’ll have value soils that are more of a wood-based soil. Going to be a little more chunky and at a better price point. The next step from that, a little bit more expensive is going to be a peat-based soil. A little less wood, a little softer in texture. Then the next step up, which is going to be a little more of a premium, which is Coast of Maine, is a compost blend. You don’t see very many compost blend soils out there because they take longer to prepare. You got to age the compost, but boy, are the results fantastic as a result.

Sherry Harrah:

Right. Absolutely, and I’m always talking about variety is the spice of life. One of my favorite things about Coast of Maine is the sea-sourced ingredients. The lobster, the crab, the seaweed. I always have my Friday night seaweed date in my garden. This product right here is one of my favorite composts that you can buy in the Houston market.

Bob:

It is fantastic. Coast of Maine really kind of got founded with our Quoddy Blend, compost blend. All of our soils have these very unique names because they’re named after communities in the state of Maine. Our Quoddy Blend is a fantastic compost blend. It is one that I like to recommend using with our other core three products. It’s just kind of your nutrient booster, if you will. When we talk about using it with those other core three or any of the other Coast of Maine products, let’s walk through what those three are. One of them you have here is going to be our Bar Harbor Blend. This is our potting soil. A great mix, again, that blend of from land to sea ingredients, again, a blend of compost put together that works really well.
