Maine Lobster Compost

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Ed Collard brought this bag of Lobster compost and peat humus for flower and vegetable gardens.

At first I was going to make a joke about Maine lobster only being good as fertilizer but then I realized that those are the same lobsters migrating up and down the coast that we catch here in G Town so I couldn’t go there with the bit.

We here in Gloucester have Neptune’s Harvest fertilizer made out of fish gurry.  They have Lobster Compost made from lobster shells.
