TOPSOIL
Topsoil, as the name implies, is the very top layer of soil from this region. It is dense with minerals & organic matter. Topsoil contains beneficial soil microbes that aid nutrient availability & uptake. But the soil is coarse & heavy, owing to its composted matter, clay & rock particles. This means that due to its properties like low drainage & low aeration, it typically requires an amendment before planting. It is a good choice for filling up raised beds, filling in holes in your yard or repairing eroded spots.
SOIL AMENDMENT
Our Bloom Woody Blend (50% Fresh Bloom & 50% hardwood fines) is a great all-purpose soil amendment for landscaping & gardens, which you can use as you would Leafgro or other compost. It is a soil conditioner made from EPA-certified Class A Exceptional Quality biosolids at Blue Plains, the world’s largest advanced wastewater plant. Bloom is an all-in-one concentrated product, providing the nutrients of a fertilizer & the organic matter of compost. Bloom works by slowly releasing into your lawn as it grows, providing nutrients (including nitrogen, iron for darker grass and green leaves and other micronutrients) over multiple seasons to stimulate consistent, healthy growth. It has a distinctive organic odor. It’s great for flowers, trees, grass & vegetables, and helps improve root &leaf growth.
