Organic Soils & Fertilizers

A healthy plant begins with healthy soil. At Effinger's we carry a wide range of organic soilless mixes, as well as organic fertilizers. Why go organic? Organic mixes are chemical free, nutrient rich, and environmentally friendly.

Once you have a good potting mix, the next step to a healthy plant is fertilizer. We carry a plethora of organic fertilizers from the Fox Farm and Espoma Organic collections.

The final important piece to the potting mix puzzle is a good soil conditioner. Soil conditioners help balance pH, encourage nutrient uptake, prevent soil compacting, and many other benefits.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great selection of houseplants! Fun place to go spend an hour or two wondering the many plants and garden decor.

Effinger consistently delivers excellent customer service. They also have plenty of varieties of whatever plant, tree, shrub, etc you are looking for. They carry local greenery choices. That's often not thought of when looking for trees or shrubs. However, you'll know those will work in your yard since they are native to the area. They also have other types not native. You can purchase every type of soil amendments here. There is a large assortment of water plants for your pond. Go check them out before buying at the chain stores. You will not be disappointed.
