Garden Blend Soil
Organic soil, Mountain soil and sandy loam mix
Suitable for garden beds: flowers, trees and natives. Holds moisture and adds oxygen and nutrients to the soil to assist with healthy plant growth.
Vegetable mix
Organic soil, Sandy loam, Mountain Soil and Mushroom compost.
This soil mix contains slow release fertilizers and valuable nutrients from the mushroom compost and organic soil. The composted organic material helps retain moisture in the soil adding micro nutrients and micro- organisms for health root development.
Mulch or Pebbles assist in preventing water evaporation, help regulate soil temperature and supress weed growth. When the mulch breaks down it will add nutrients to the soil.
Weed seeds are spread via the wind, if you lay weed mat before you spread your mulch this will prevent the weeds from coming up from the soil below the weed mat and any new weeds in the mulch will be very easy to remove as they will not be able to grow their roots below the weed mat barrier.
