Soil

All soil is not created the same

There can be some pretty big differences. So what makes for good dirt anyway? Topsoil is made up of sand, silt, and clay. When combined in just the right proportions you end up with a soil  that is an ideal environment for growth. Topsoil also has decomposed plant matter, or organic matter; that’s where the plant’s nutrients come from. If you have good dirt then you’re sure to find some happy earthworms in there too!

There are some other variations of topsoil out there depending on what you’re doing but we can help you find what you need.

So what are some ways you can use soil?

  • Make a garden
  • Repair lawn damage
  • Build up around your house foundation
  • Fill in holes

Take a look at the different types of soil we carry below, we also carry compost. We will make sure you get the right kind for your specific application, and remember, you can always trust a worm to know good dirt!
