Our Raised Bed Mix is specially formulated to help you establish and maintain healthy, productive raised bed gardens with ease. Whether you are starting a new garden or improving an existing one, this mix offers the perfect balance of drainage, moisture retention, and nutrients to support vibrant plant growth.
Creating a New Raised Bed
Start by selecting a location that receives ample sunlight. Then, build your raised bed frame using wood, stone, or another sturdy material. Once your frame is ready, fill it with our Raised Bed Mix. This blend is designed to provide excellent drainage while holding enough moisture for your plants. Its nutrient-rich compost and organic starter fertilizer give seedlings a strong start, encouraging quick root development.
Amending Existing Raised Beds
If you already have raised beds, consider topdressing or lightly mixing in additional Raised Bed Mix to refresh the soil. This is especially helpful if your soil feels compacted, drains poorly, or lacks nutrients. Simply remove any debris, loosen the soil with a garden fork, and incorporate the Raised Bed Mix into the top 4 to 6 inches of soil. This will improve texture, boost microbial activity, and enhance moisture retention.
Boosting Soil in Other Garden Areas
Besides raised beds, you can use this mix to enrich any garden spot that needs a nutrient boost. It works well as a planting soil for flower beds, vegetable gardens, or herb boxes. The slightly acidic pH is especially beneficial for acid-loving plants like berries.
Tips for Best Results
