Island Special Worm mix
This worm compost is specially prepared for Island by a local vermiculturist. It is (de)composed of worm castings and organic yard materials. Use it as an amendment to poor soils, add it to your compost pile, supplement container plants, green up tired lawns, side dress your plants and veggies, treat them to it in a tea. "Scientific studies show that worm-worked composts have better texture and soil enhancing properties, hold typically higher percentages of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, and may offer plants disease-fighting properties"--from "An Historical Overview of Composting" 

Sluggo snail and slug bait 
This snail bait's effectiveness comes from iron phosphate, Fe2PO4, a basic fertilizer found in soil, combined with a harmless attractant. Sluggo draws only snails and slugs. When slugs and snails eat iron phosphate it makes them stop eating and then they dry up.The snails remain non-toxic so there is no secondary poisoning risk to other wildlfe. Cats and dogs will not eat it, we tried offering it to the store cats and they refused. 

Maxicrop 
The best "Kelp" secret of the sea...   Kelp is a long time known growth stimulant. Miniscule amounts of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium are in it but the real ingredients are trace minerals, micronutrients, amino acids and vitamins essential to plant growth. Most importantly kelps contain many growth hormones, including cytokinins, auxins and gibberellins, all of which stimulate cell division and larger root systems. 
Maxicrop is excellent for use as a foliar spray. House plants love it, and so will you...it smells like the ocean and will show dramatic results.We sell it by the 1/8 and 1/4 pound and up to 40 lbs. It is $4.99 for a 1/4 pound and will last a long time as you only need 1/8 of a teaspoon per quart of water.
