I love these people. They're doing a great thing with local compost. We just got 6.5 yds of their Garden Soil Blend. It consists of their dark, rich screened topsoil, compost and sand to aid in drainage. Really nice product and friendly people. The Garden Soil Blend works great for our veggie garden raised beds. When we put our yard in after our new house was built we used a 3" layer of their screened topsoil for the final soil before seed and i has yielded us a gorgeous yard. Love these people.
