The line of excellent gardening products we offer here is the result of years of our own experimenting, lots of reading, ongoing conversations with other gardeners and manufacturers, and hours spent at trade shows seeking the finest things available. These are the products we use in our own garden and throughout the Two Dog Nursery to grow happy, healthy, disease-resistant plants. This is an ever-evolving aspect of our business, and our ears are always open. We do hope you enjoy our selections and as always appreciate your feedback!

What does OMRI-Listed mean? OMRI Listed – or, approved – products have met the strict requirements set by the Organic Materials Review Institute and may be used in Organic Gardening according to the USDA National Organic Program guidelines. It’s sort of like the “Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval” for the gardening world!


Garden Containers

ORGANIC EARTHBOX GARDEN KIT

We love gardening in our EarthBoxes so much, we’ve devoted a whole page to them! The Complete Organic EarthBox Kit contains all you will need for a bountiful harvest.

The Organic Kit comes with easy planting instructions and a set of excellent casters, so the boxes can be easily moved toward more sun or less sun, or rolled inside on frosty nights. Also included are the Dolomite Lime (calcium) which all plants need and a package of Certified Organic Plant Food, sufficient for the entire season. The aeration screen, water tube and 3 plastic mulch covers are also part of the Kit.

The EarthBox measures 29” L x 13.5” W x 11 H. and accommodates 2 cubic feet of potting mix – or exactly 3 bags of our Black Gold Waterhold Potting Soil. The water reservoir holds 3 gallons of water, which is “topped off” regularly through the water tube.

As the water “wicks up” through the soil, the fertilizer gradually releases from the top down, into the area around the plant roots. With this patented, award-winning system, you will never again fertilize after the initial planting, and there are virtually no weeds because the mulch cover prevents them! The cover also holds in moisture and soil warmth and prevents rain from washing away the fertilizer. And as long as the water reservoir is kept full, you can never over water or under water, eliminating that guesswork entirely.

When it’s time for your next crop, simply remove the mulch cover, old plants, and the top 1/3 of the original soil and any old root strands, and add one more 16 qt. bag of the Black Gold WaterHold Potting Soil. You will need to use another application of Dolomite Lime and Fertilizer, but these and a new mulch cover come in the Organic Replant Kit, which we also sell. It’s so easy to go from season to season in an EarthBox!

Once you begin gardening in the EarthBox, you will definitely want more of them. They’re tidy, attractive, practically fool-proof and resource-saving. Perfect for decks, driveways, up on tables (like ours!) or anywhere you wish to garden. We particularly enjoy planting them and harvesting while standing straight up!

Soils and Amendments

It all starts with great soil, and Black Gold Waterhold Potting Soil is our choice. OMRI-Listed and blended with coconut coir and sustainably-grown Canadian peat, this rich, fluffy soil retains moisture like crazy. It also contains worm castings and pumice, and does not contain copolymer crystals (polyacrylamide), commonly found in other water hold type potting soils. We use it throughout the nursery with great results; it saves both water and time!

OMRI-listed Black Gold Earthworm Castings

Every one of our plants get a big dose of these organic worm castings at each stage of growth – from seedling to transplant. The result is healthy, disease- and pest-resistant plants; Two Dog Organic Nursery was awarded a completely clean bill of health during the “Disease and Pest Inspection” conducted by the Department of Agriculture (required before entering a Farmers Market.) We feel the credit goes to the worm castings!

Studies have shown them to enhance soil permeability to air and water, reduce watering requirements, and suppress fungal disease and pests (pythium, fusarium, dollar spot, white flies, aphids, etc.) They are completely non-toxic, and odor-free. They will not burn even the most tender plants and will not contaminate ground water in any way.
