- Oma-Gro® is the natural choice for providing the nutrients that plants need for vigorous growth. Applied properly, Oma-Gro® will improve your soil's growing potential.
Roger Swain, long time host of the PBS series The Victory Garden, is a strong proponent of compost for all horticulture applications. Roger is shown here with a bag of Oma-Gro during a visit to the Omaha Home and Garden Expo.

- New Lawns (prior to seeding)
- Apply a 1" layer (8 bags per 100 square feet) of Oma-Gro® over the area to be seeded and till in to a depth of 4" to 6".
- Flower and Vegetable Gardens
- Apply a 1" to 2" layer (8-16 bags per 100 square feet) of Oma-Gro® over the entire area to be tilled and mix into the soil.
- Trees and Shrubs
- Apply a 1" to 2" layer of Oma-Gro® on the surface of the ground in a radius not to exceed the drip line of the plant. For best results, aerate prior to application.
