What's in Premium Garden Mix?
Our Premium Organic / Garden Mix combines four materials that contribute different properties to the finished garden soil blend.
Soil
Provides the mineral soil component of the blend, helping create a growing medium for outdoor planting applications.
Organic Compost
Adds organic matter that can support soil structure, moisture management and biological activity.
Peat Moss
Helps retain moisture and contributes organic material to the soil blend.
Perlite
A lightweight mineral amendment that helps create pore space within the mix, contributing to aeration and drainage.
The combination creates a versatile garden soil blend for a range of outdoor planting and soil improvement projects.
Premium Garden Mix vs. Topsoil and Compost
Choosing the right soil product depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
Premium Garden Mix is a blended soil containing compost, peat moss and perlite. It is designed for garden beds and outdoor planting applications.
Screened topsoil is commonly used for general landscaping, grading and establishing areas that require soil.
Aged compost is primarily a soil amendment used to add organic matter and improve existing soil.
For new vegetable gardens, flower beds and raised planting areas, Premium Garden Mix may be a more convenient option than purchasing separate soil amendments.
How to Use Premium Garden Mix
- Remove weeds, debris and unwanted vegetation from the planting area.
- Prepare the underlying soil and confirm that the planting area has suitable drainage.
- Spread Premium Garden Mix to the required depth for your project.
- Where improving existing soil, incorporate the garden mix as appropriate for the planting area.
- Level the surface without excessively compacting the soil.
- Plant as required and water appropriately. Allow for some natural settlement.
For raised garden beds, calculate the full depth of the bed if it will be filled entirely with garden soil. Different plants may require different soil depths and growing conditions.
