How to Use Our Compost, Mulch, and Soil Products
We make things that work better and last longer. Our products solve real problems with thoughtfully designed blends and honest ingredients.
Mixing Ratio
When amending existing soil, use a ratio of 1 part compost to 2-3 parts native soil for best results.
For Lawns
Aerate your lawn, then apply ¼ to ½ inch of compost as a topdressing. Gently rake into the soil, reseed if needed, and water thoroughly. Best applied in spring or fall.
For Mulching
Use 2-3 inches as a protective layer around plants to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Reapply annually as it breaks down.
For Vegetables & Flower Beds
Apply 1-3 inches of compost on top of garden beds and either rototill or mix into the existing soil. For established beds, use as a top dressing around plants.
For New Planting Beds
Spread 2-4 inches of compost and work into the top 6-8 inches of soil before planting.
For Trees and Shrubs
Apply 2-3 inches around the base (avoid direct contact with trunks), extending to the drip line. Do not pile against stems.
