Master Nurseryman Potting SoilWhen planting, it is always a good idea to add some soil amendment to help your new plants thrive and we have several different kinds from which to choose.  After planting, a layer of mulch will help to retain moisture during our hot, dry summers.  We have three sizes of fir bark as well as shredded red cedar bark and Black Forest for mulching.
