Planting Beds: Our high quality garden soil mix contains composted organic matter, aged pine bark and sand to provide a loose fertile planting medium. Adding organic matter to your landscape beds will provide needed food for the beneficial microorganisms that release nutrients into the soil for improved plant growth. Our mix is crumbly to allow plant roots to work their way through it, air can pass through and water drains, but not so quickly that the plants can't access it. Turf: Amending soil with compost increases the nutrient levels in the soil, which improves turf quality and can result in reduced water needs and use. Compost increases the soil's organic content, which increases soil water holding capacity and infiltration rates. The amended soil has reduced water losses fr
