Angels Garden Center is proud to carry the full line of Coast of Maine® Soil Products.

Bar Harbor Blend Premium Potting Soil
Bar Harbor Blend is Coast of Maine's new, all-purpose potting soil introduced for the 2005 season. It is a rich, dark brown and full bodied, designed for potting or re-potting house plants, planting hanging baskets, window boxes and all containers. It can also be used as a seed starter and for potting-up seedlings.

Bar Harbor Blend is made with lobster and aspen bark compost, long staple horticultural grade sphagnum peat moss and perlite. Like all compost-based soils, this too requires less watering.

They named this blend for the town of Bar Harbor, located on Mount Desert Island overlooking Frenchman Bay. Bar Harbor is the gateway to Acadia National Park and one of the jewels of the Maine coast.

It is available in one and two cubic foot bags and 8 and 16 quart bags.

Cobscook Blend Gardening Soil

Cobscook Blend is a richly textured all-purpose gardening soil designed for potting all larger, outdoor containers as well as planting beds and borders. It is a dark, old-fashioned, full-bodied soil with a pH of between 6.3 and 6.8. Because it is made with compost, it also requires less watering and feeding.

Cobscook Blend is made with a blend of fully matured and cured salmon, blueberry and cow manure composts, aged bark, long staple sphagnum peat moss and horticultural limestone.

They named this blend for Cobscook Bay, a complex maze of tidal inlets off Passamaquoddy Bay in Eastern Maine and home to countless bald eagles, loons, moose and black bear.

It is available in one and two cubic foot (60 lb) bags.

Penboscot Blend Compost & Peat

Penobscot Blend is Coast of Maine's popular all-purpose planting mix. A blend of compost and peat, it is ideal for planting annuals, perennials, roses, shrubs and trees or conditioning gardens, beds and borders. It is rich in organic material, trace elements and nicely balances drainage and water retention.

Penobscot Blend is made with fully matured and cured salmon, blueberry and mussel composts (2/3) and sphagnum moss peat (1/3).

What makes Penobscot Blend unique are the mussels. The shells are crushed during composting and add enough calcium to naturally balance the blend's pH. Larger shell fragments help aerate and add texture to your soil. According to some of our customers it also helps control slugs.

They have named this blend for Penobscot Bay, located in the heart of Maine's mid-coast and dotted with spruce islands and picturesque fishing villages like Camden and Castine.

Penobscot Blend is available in one cubic foot (40 lb) bags.

Quoddy Blend

Quoddy Blend is a blend of fully cured, fully matured composts specifically designed for conditioning gardens, beds and borders, re-conditioning poor or maintaining healthy soils, and for planting trees, shrubs and roses. It is more coarsely textured than Penobscot Blend, to help break up dense or compacted soils.

Quoddy Blend is made entirely from composted crab, lobster, salmon and aspen bark with added composted cow manure for texture. The crab and lobster shells are a rich source of calcium and chitin, the aspen bark a source of tannins and lignins.

They have named this blend for Passamaquoddy Bay, or "Quoddy" for short. The bay marks Maine's easternmost border with Canada and its deep, nutrient-rich waters, protected inlets, strong tides and currents make it ideal for salmon farming.

Quoddy is now produced for Coast of Maine in New Brunswick, Canada by the same people with whom they partner in the production of Fermented Salmon. It is available in 40 lb. bags.

Mohegan Blend Black Earth

Monhegan Blend Black Earth is an exceptionally rich blend of naturally composted barks and fine sand. The result is a light, easy-to-use, all-purpose organic soil that is ideal both for top dressing lawns and all lawn repair jobs.

A beautiful lawn starts with healthy soil. That means soil with enough organic material to support the beneficial microorganisms that process the essential nutrients that feed your grass. Monhegan Blend is an excellent source of organic material. Remember, a naturally healthy lawn is more drought, weed and disease resistant and requires less watering and feeding.

They have named this blend for Monhegan Island, a rocky outcropping twelve miles off Maine's mid coast and accessible by ferry from the picturesque coastal village of Port Clyde. The island is home to fishermen and supports a thriving artists' colony in the summer.

It is available in 1 cubic foot bags (approximate weight 30 lbs).

Schoodic Blend Composted Manure

Schoodic Blend is a rich mixture of carefully cured and matured composted cow and hen manures, designed for maintaining gardens, beds and borders or re-conditioning soils with a history of poor production. Compost is a rich source of organic material and will help improve the moisture and nutrient holding capacity of your soil.

Because the manures in Schoodic Blend are composted with aspen bark, it is also lighter, thus easier to use than most conventional manures. Nothing else has been added to provide bulk or boost its analysis.

This blend is named for Schoodic Peninsula, which frames the eastern side of Frenchman's Bay and is part of Acadia National Park. You enter this less frequented part of the Park via the villages of Winter Harbor and Birch Harbor and can enjoy spectacular views of Mount Desert Island to the west.

The same people they partner with in the production of Fermented Salmon produce Schoodic Blend for Coast of Maine in New Brunswick, Canada. It is available in 1 cubic foot bags (approximate weight 30 lbs).
