With all the rainy and cloudy days, it has been a challenge to grow vegetables and flowers into the luscious green foilage that we are used to. One of the things that we can do to prepare for sunnier days is to have the right type of soil and nutrients in the ground that our plants and vegetables to draw from.
Introducing Veggie Soil
Veggie Soil or vegetable soil mix from Toemar is a clay free mixture product containing peat loam, sandy loam, compost and manure. This premium soil blend is a fertile organic soil which is native to the Holland Marsh area. It is an excellent product if you are looking to apply it to a new or existing vegetable or flower garden bed or looking to repair your lawn with grass seeds.
About Holland Marsh
Holland Marsh is approximately located north of Toronto, Ontario and is commonly referred to as Ontario’s
vegetable patch’ because of its incredible variety and copious amounts of fresh produce.
The Holland Marsh is a community of approximately 100 farms on 7,000 acres of low-lying land that
contains some of the richest farmland in the province, with another 2,500 surrounding acres
also being recognized by growers as prime agricultural land. It is the largest and most productive
marsh because of the canal drainage system and exposed organic soil which products nearly 60% of Ontario’s
carrots and 55% of its onions, along with a number of traditional crops such as celery, lettuce,
potatoes, parsnips, cabbage, cauliflower, beets, tomatoes, cucumbers and commercial
flowers to more diverse options like Chinese broccoli, Asian radish and water spinach.
