You don't need a ton of space to grow your own flowers, veggies + herbs! We love balcony gardens, a solid fire escape oasis, and window boxes! All you need to get started - a container, and the right soil! We created our potting soil mix with urban container growing in mind. It's filled with natural nutrition from our composts, and upcycled remnants of major staple crops, like rice hulls + coco coir! In combination, it's a powerful blend that drains so well that you can make bottom drainage holes optional on most containers! The best part - when the dog or baby (or both!) inevitably gets some in their mouth, you don't need to worry about any harmful chemicals or pesticides that could make them sick! We're big fans of natural ingredients you can *actually* pronounce - and that will never change! 😉 (PSA. please don't intentionally eat soil for kicks - save it for the plants! 🙏) // 📷 x composter + gardener @shannonawink in Fishtown Gotta keep our rides running smoothly!

(Anyone else seen these little guys around town? 😱) The good news - we were prepared. With kids and dogs running around, we don’t use any chemical-based insecticide or herbicide. What we DO keep on hand is neem oil and some @drbronner castille baby soap for a natural + non-toxic spray! Add 1tsp soap to a 24-32oz container of luke warm water and shake - then add 2tsp #neemoil and give it a good shake again! Mist over all affected branches, and a bit on the soil as well. In about five minutes, most of the bugs will be gone. Reapply as needed until you’re back on track! ~ Check out today’s story for more details! ~ Step aside, Lucky the Leprechaun - this one's ours! All kidding aside, compost is the gold at the end of our rainbow! 🌈♻️ We started this business because we saw potential where others saw trash - your food scraps, newspaper - even stale bread, dead flowers + pet fur! You can compost more than you think - in fact, most of our composters cut down what they put in the garbage can by half! The best part? Each spring, we'll drop off *free* compost for your garden, window boxes and potted plants that you've helped create! It's not gold, but for us gardeners + plant-lovers it's close!⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ New to composting? Ready to give it a go?

There's something *magical* about growing flowers and watching them bloom! We love the ideal of a flower garden (and fresh, home-grown bouquets!), and also love integrating flowers like borage, marigolds, and lavender into our veggie plots for natural pest control! Healthy plants produce the most beautiful blooms (and fresh eats). Grab a bag of our compost for topdressing beds, or our worm compost for container plants for happy, healthy plants! Our compost products are always locally-sourced, and made from the scraps and stems you put in your Bennett Bucket - and never contains chemicals or ingredients you can't pronounce that might harm your little ones or pets! • Shop soil on our website! • Free delivery in Philadelphia • Link In Bio • • • • 📷 x @jennylynnphotoart Almost there - our tomatoes are looking tip-top! We'll let you in on a secret - it's the compost. And love! Maybe just a sprinkle of magic. ✨⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ Our compost is sourced from local food scraps + organics, and given new life as compost using traditional methods. The best part (besides the tomatoes!) - every gallon of organics we collect is one less gallon that winds up in a landfill. Food and landfills are a toxic mix, and are a major source of greenhouse gasses! Composting in static, aerated piles avoids these toxic byproducts - and you get fresh soil to boot! Intrigued?
