Sprinkle John and Bob’s on top of your soil and water it in just twice a year to see dramatic improvements in plant and soil health!

All four of John and Bob’s products are incredibly easy to apply! John and Bob’s Grow Green Smart Soil Solutions are just sprinkled onto the soil and watered in!* John and Bob’s is a highly concentrated product that is applied, in small amounts, only twice a year in order to see dramatic improvements in soil health and quality! This is unlike most soil amendments and fertilizers, which must be applied frequently and often tilled into the soil in order for them to be effective and well-integrated.

John and Bob’s will never burn plants and will not harm the soil if over-applied. However, you will get more value from our products if they are applied in proper amounts. A little of John and Bob’s goes a long way!
