Composition
40% topsoil, 30% organic compost or humus, 30% coarse sand. Shredded, pulverized and screened through ¾ inch screen.
Description

Composition
30% topsoil, 30% organic compost or humus, 20% coarse sand. 20% pea sized silica gravel.  Shredded, pulverized and screened through a ¾ inch screen.
Description
This is a premium soil.  The high organic content makes it very rich for growing plants.  The gravel helps the material hold moisture which means watering less often.  The sand and gravel both keep the soil loose and workable.  Sold by the yard.

  • Vegetable and annual gardens.

  • Flower pots and planters

  • Greenhouses
