Dirty Thoughts

Battling the plague of ordinary landscapes one yard at a time

Happiness is...

...a yard of organic compost from Sierra Rock in Roseville in the back of my truck!  I'm sure not all of you get excited about this type of thing, but I really do. Spring is a great time to add plants to your landscape, but before you put anything in the ground do yourself a favor and dig in some compost or other amendment rich in organic material before you do. Our heavy clay soil is the reason many plants have a hard time flourishing or even surviving in our yards. In bulk or by the bag, soil amendments are absolutely necessary if you don't want to see the money you spent at the nursery eventually ending up in the green waste can!
