+ What is garden soil good for?

Garden soil is good for plants, growing vegetables and worms. It provides nutrients to keep plants healthy and growing. Bedrock Garden Mix is made from locally sourced products on site. It is full of nutrients and organic matter.

+ How often should I revitalise my garden soil?

A good quality garden soil should provide the base for healthy garden for several seasons. However if you are growing high maintenance vegetables or plants that will take alot of nutrients from the soil it should be replenished annually with a soil conditioner. This is as easy as digging through compost and manures. Products like Nitro Hummus, mushroom compost, cow manure or pig manure will all do the job. Check with the Bedrock staff to see what is available.

+ What Mulch Do I Use?

There are many different types of garden mulch that can be used. The following is where each mulch type can be used.

  • Grass Clippings- Grass clippings are ideal for areas of the garden where you want to supress weeds.
  • Shredded Leaves – Shredded leaves are one of the best mulches to place anywhere in the garden. They also help to promote an increase in worm population for a more nutrient garden.
  • Newspaper – Newspaper is ideal for suppressing weeds and can help with jump starting new garden beds. It also works wonders to wrap around plant roots to keep them moist while transporting.
  • Straw/Hay – Straw and hay mulches are ideal for vegetable gardens.
