We have been gardening more than thirty years, mostly in New England but for the past several years in the Portland area. Although the climate here is very helpful for gardeners, the soils have been somewhat challenging. Before we found your White Lightning product we had tried several other organic composts and mixes for our raised beds and were disappointed since they were usually heavy and became saturated easily. The White Lightning is a perfect mix for us since it tends to stay light, friable and yet still has excellent moisture retention and organic content and seems at least initially to need no other augmentations. Our root crops and garlic really seem to love it. It is easy to manage as well and can be shoveled and turned over with ease. Although certainly not a scientific statement, it is our impression that the slugs don't like it since their numbers seem to be lower in our raised beds with this product. We hope you continue to carry this fine soil amendment.
