Featured Product for April
California Native Mulch®
California Native Mulch® is versatile and an amazing value! It is great for covering bare soil to prevent erosion and conserve and capture run-off. It provides really good protection that landscapes need to weather heavy rains. We had 2” of rain this past week-end alone!
This mulch is also great for minimizing the weeds that will be emerging this Spring. Add a nice 3″ to 4″ thick layer of California Native Mulch® in the garden and around landscape plants for optimal results.
This product is SB 1383 compliant.
Composted Mulch feeds the soil AND adds beauty!
For information about using mulch, check out Dr. K’s Compost and Mulch Tips. And for tips managing stormwater, check out Dr. K’s post on Compost Blanket Solutions to Combat Problem Areas During Rainy Season.
Our composted products are free of pathogenic organisms and they meet the highest quality requirements of the US Composting Council (USCC).
