Coast of Maine Quoddy Blend™ Organic Compost with Lobster & Crab

• OMRI Listed Seafood Compost
• Lobster + Crab Shell Meal
• Balanced Soil Conditioner
• Great For Beds & Borders

Coast of Maine Quoddy Blend™ Organic Compost with Lobster & Crab is a reliable amendment to rebuild garden beds containing exhausted, compact, or low fertility soil. This OMRI-certified compost blends composted manure, sphagnum peat moss, aged bark, and lobster and crab shell meal to improve soil texture and add a gentle, steady nutrient base. The mix is designed to help soil retain more water yet drain well, plus add more air space around roots. We recommend it for vegetable plots and flower borders that need a seasonal refresh, especially before planting or as a top-dress after midsummer.

Used as a soil conditioner, it helps loosen heavy soils and add body to sandy beds so moisture stays more even between waterings. It also works well in planting holes for trees and shrubs when blended with native soil, giving new roots a better transition zone rather than a hard line between “amended” and “unamended” ground. The nutrient analysis is mild, so it’s more about long-term soil improvement than a quick fertilizer jolt.

Product Tips

• To recondition poor soil, work a 2-inch layer into the top 4–6 inches of soil.
• To maintain established beds, top-dress with 1–2 inches and let watering move it in.
• For trees and shrubs, backfill with a 50/50 blend of Quoddy Blend and native soil, then water deeply.
• Keep compost a few inches away from trunks and crowns to prevent moisture buildup against stems.
• Follow with an organic plant food later in the season if you need additional feeding beyond soil conditioning.
