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

• Contains 33% 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 GrowMix 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 help prevent weeds!

This is our best, all-round, fertile soil choice for most landscape and planting applications. Has proven itself across the entire landscape. Contains high fertility with good nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium values. Requires NO ADDITIONAL fertilizer in the first year: wait for a sign of plant need in year two before adding any!

This soil performs best by watering-in heavily TWICE to remove additional salts from the compost before seeding or planting out. Also 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.
