Soils, Mulch, & Organics

The ideal and economical solution for filling the bottom of large garden beds, or shaping bermed-up shrub beds.

• Contains 50% organic content.
• Contains screened dirt, washed sand, organics, and some compost. Best described as a sandy loam.
• As a stand-alone growing media, this soil will perform best by amending the top 6” layer with our compost or organic garden soil that contain additional nutrients – or adding 5 pounds of 6-8-6 pelletized fertilizer per yard to enrich. With either addition, Bed Builder will perform well and support strong root development and plant growth.

• Please note: due to the screened dirt content, this soil will contain some weed seed. Please seed, turf, or mulch your installation as soon as possible to helps prevent weeds!

Offering a blend of organics, compost, and coarse sandy loam this is an excellent choice to build-up landscaping beds in preparation for shrubs, trees, hedge-row, and general planting.

• Contains 65% organic content with excellent soil texture and consistency.
• A robust soil that contains a greater silt content than our organic garden soil.
• Contains good nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium values. This soil performs best by watering-in once placed to remove additional salts from the compost before seeding or planting out.
• An all-round, fertile soil choice for most landscape and planting applications.
• This soil is our best option when dealing with wet areas where drainage is of concern. For really wet areas, placing a few inch layer of bedding sand down first or digging-in a French drain may still be required.

Our organic garden soil is ALSO AN EXCELLENT SOIL AMENDER for your existing garden beds or new landscape areas that are being turned into garden beds. About 2” of this soil should be spread, and then mixed, into existing garden beds to replenish organics and nutrients once per year in the Spring or Fall.
