It was sometime late in 2014 when I decided to connect the small flower bed around the lamp post to the Magnolia tree that Warren had purchased for our anniversary a few years before.
Too many little beds to mow around.
And then I moved onto expanding my vegetable gardens and fighting the breast cancer monster and this flower bed sat neglected for a couple of years.
And then in 2016 I got back out there and did some major weeding and mulching. I put out a few daisy, echinacea, coreopsis, and meadow sage plants.
And that brings us to 2018. Still kind of sad looking, I weeded and mulched again, and then bought tons of new plants.
That is when Bio-Flora reached out to me and asked if I’d like to try some of their products.
Yes!
I tend to have a green thumb but I’d just about run out of patience with this flower bed. While I had several plants in it now they were still kind of puny and I wanted them to fill in super quick.
And that can only be done with time. ORRRR great soil and good nutrition. Plants need food too ya know.
Bio-Flora sent Dry Crumbles, Seaweed Creme, and Soil Source and I’ve been using it for about six weeks.
Here are my thoughts about it.
- It’s super easy to use
- I don’t mind too much getting it on my hands because it’s natural – I even let my dogs in the bed with me.
- It smells like dirt and growing things – not chemicals
- I know it’s doing good things in my soil so that in the future the plants will thrive
- It’s feeding my plants just what they need
- While I have no scientific proof I think the colors are more bold and the stems thicker than ever before
- The bugs, worms and other critters that live in the soil are still alive and well – a good sign
- The second day after the first feeding the Scotch Broom went bonkers with blooms! I’ve never seen so many.
So I went out and bought MORE PLANTS!
I know that with a few more feedings my flower bed will look even more lush and full.
Some of the flowers are nearly waist high and I can’t wait to see how this fills in over the summer.
Thanks for making a great product that I can feel good about using Bio-Flora!
This looks lovely! I have some lavender in my front flower bed that desperately needs weeding… And now that you have reminded me, it need a a good feeding too! <3
Be sure to cut back the flowers and save/dry them. It will smell wonderful in a line closet and keep small insects away. It will also allow your lavender to grow even better.

I have chickens running around the yard, you think this is ok for them? Your yard looks great!
Like I said, my dogs have been out there with no ill effects. But you’ll have to follow your gut for your own critters.
That’s incredible!! Please keep us posted on how well they progress. I am so looking forward to actually being able to do things like this next summer! Thanks for the review!
Beautiful! Your beds look great! It’s a lot of work planting and maintaining a garden. Nice work, Ms. Vicki.
Your flower bed looks great! Good soil is so important.
It sure is. I can’t wait to see this bed later in the summer!
This looks great!!
Thanks Morena! I’m enjoying all of the flowers I’m getting.
