WHY IT WORKS

Our passion is turning the places you love into the places plants love to grow. With that passion in mind, we set out to create a product that no matter what soil type you have - or even if your thumb isn’t so green - to allow you to grow a beautiful healthy garden.

You, the earth, your landscape -let’s not make it complicated. It’s all about working with nature, rejuvenating natural processes and supporting life in our soils. The science may be complex but the concept isn’t. It’s natural. It’s just the way things are supposed to work. That’s why we’ve put the time in behind a microscope and in the field developing products like Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix that really make a difference to you, the environment and your landscape. When your Fruit Trees or veggies need a little TLC, this is the place to start.

Because the ‘circle of life’ in your garden is complex, we’ve been able to combine ingredients in Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix that address a wide range of issues that may be out of balance and causing problems in the landscape. Here is a little insight on how Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix works:

• Builds Strong Roots: In most cases, the roots of your plants will expand 100X-1000X in the first 6-8 weeks after application! In addition, BioLife Complex in Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix contains some amazing microbes called Mycorrhizae that attach to the roots of plants and extend out into the soil to grab water and nutrients and bring it back to the plant root. This type of teamwork between plant roots and microbes promotes sustainable and healthy growth for the plants in your landscape.
• Increases Drought Resistance: After Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix expands your plant’s root system (see above), your plants have MUCH greater access to water way down deep in the soil and are more efficient at absorbing it. As a result, your plants will be better prepared to thrive with less water. In fact, we frequently see clients saving as much as 40% water 6-8 weeks after using Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix.
• Increases Healthy Growth: Slow growing or unhealthy plants usually results from an imbalance in the soil. Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix treats common problems in the soil and creates an environment where they love to grow. Whether poor growth is stemming from a pH imbalance, nutrient shortage or weak roots, Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix corrects the soil to help your plants thrive.
• Corrects pH: pH is a measure of the relative acidity or alkalinity on a scale from 0 (more acidic) to 14 (more basic). Most plants prefer a pH near the middle at a pH of 7 or neutral. When the pH balance is thrown off, the health of your garden can severely decline and it will really struggle to stay healthy. Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix corrects pH imbalances within the soil and no matter what the starting point, brings the pH back closer to neutral to keep your garden growing right.
• Solves Nutrient Shortage: There are 14 plant nutrients that are essential for plant growth. All plants must have an adequate supply of each of these 14 nutrients to be healthy and grow properly. If one or more of these nutrients are lacking in the soil, plants will get sick and start to decline, even though an adequate amount of other elements are available. Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix includes complete fertilizers and restores trace elements back into the soil. This ensures your organic garden a healthy supply of nutrients so plants can grow strong and healthy. BioLife Complex in Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix contains some amazing microbes that digest plant nutrients and turn them into a form plants can absorb and use. Just like the bacteria in your gut helps to digest the food you eat, plants need the same type of help from beneficial bacteria to digest their food in the soil. But, it doesn’t stop there, BioLife Complex also includes microbes that are able to pull plant food out of thin air. That’s right, these amazing microbes grab nitrogen right out of the air and can supply a plant with a whopping 30% of its nitrogen requirements! What this means is that your plants will be much healthier, but most importantly, you fruits and veggies will by much more nutritious for you and taste great.
• Increases Insect & Disease Resistance: Artisan Organics™ Fruit & Veggie Planting Mix contains NO chemical pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. Instead, we believe it is much healthier for you and your landscape to fight these pests naturally. Powered with BioLife Complex, millions of microbes team up to help keep pest and disease populations in check.
