Fort Vee is a compost-based potting mix that is excellent for seed starting in soil blocks. This living soil holds its shape after being blocked, even through repeat waterings.

Fort Vee also excels as a germinating and potting-up mix for trays, plugs, and potted plants.  Professional growers rely on Fort Vee for sustained nutrition and exceptional texture to grow vibrant, sturdy transplants.

When you transplant a seedling grown in Fort Vee into your garden or field, you improve your soil health by adding slow-release minerals, mature compost, and a healthy community of bacteria and fungi to your beds.

Ingredients: All ingredients used in Fort Vee have been approved for certified organic production. Fort Vee composting process meets the National Organic Program (NOP) standard requirements and our products are approved by Vermont Organic Farmers (VOF), the certification branch of NOFA-VT.

The backbone of all Fort Vee potting soils is the mature compost that we craft on site. To that foundation, we add high-quality, organic inputs selected to produce reliably outstanding soil.

Fort Vee soil recipes are iterative, as we frequently re-evaluate suppliers and ingredients against our goals of minimizing our environmental impact and producing a premium potting soil that growers can afford.
