Lambert Shrimp Compost 30L is a pH-adjusted peat moss compost and organic soil amendment for vegetable gardens, flower beds, lawns, trees and shrubs. Made in Canada, this dark compost blend adds organic matter while helping amended soil retain water.
The formula combines Canadian sphagnum peat moss compost with shrimp flour, calcitic limestone and dolomitic limestone. It can be incorporated into existing garden soil during bed preparation and should be paired with a complete fertilizer program for balanced crop nutrition.
Key Features & Grower Benefits
- Organic matter source: Enriches existing garden soil and supports a more productive root-zone environment.
- Improved water retention: The peat-based compost helps amended soil hold moisture, reducing the rapid drying associated with low-organic-matter soils.
- Purpose-built composition: Contains Canadian sphagnum peat moss compost, shrimp flour, calcitic limestone and dolomitic limestone rather than a generic single-ingredient amendment.
- pH-adjusted formula: Limestone components help condition the peat-based blend for convenient incorporation into garden beds and soil-based containers.
- Convenient packaged format: The durable printed plastic bag contains 30 L, or 8 kg, for manageable transport, storage and application.
Recommended Applications
Lambert Shrimp & Peat Moss Compost is formulated for vegetable gardens, flower beds, lawns, trees and shrubs. It is well suited to tomatoes, climbing vegetables, flowering annuals, perennials and other soil-grown crops that benefit from added organic matter and greater moisture retention.
Growers can incorporate it into outdoor beds, commercial greenhouse soil beds and soil-based planters used in indoor grow tents or vertical farms. For new flower beds and vegetable gardens, the package directs growers to apply 4.5 kg per 9 m² and work it into the top 5–8 cm of soil before planting. This compost is a soil amendment and is not intended to replace an inert hydroponic substrate or a complete fertilizer program.
