SHOCKED at the Soil Under the Wood Chips!

What to study

Desired Outcome

  • Gardeners argue about wood chip mulch, and some worry it uses up nitrogen.
  • Here two hands lift dark, crumbly soil from under the chips, the kind every grower wants.
  • SHOCKED says the result surprised even the grower who spread them.
How the packaging works
Title

'Under the Wood Chips' names the spot viewers can't see without digging, which makes the handful in the thumbnail feel like the reveal.

Thumbnail

The soil fills the frame against a blurred bed of chips, so you see where it came from, and BUILD AMAZING SOIL turns the find into something you can do.

Remix this

When your method's result is hidden until you dig, cut or open something, show the reveal in your hands with the source blurred behind. Let the title name the hidden spot and the text turn it into a command.
