A magnificent garden starts with great soil conditions. A solid foundation for your garden can be obtained by creating a garden floor that is well drained and rich in soil nutrients. To achieve this goal I like to utilize a combination of compost and mulch in my gardens landscape. Adding a layer of compost gives my plants the nutrients they require to help them thrive in different types of conditions. The addition of Marvelous Mulch will retain moisture during dry conditions and insure a continuous abundance of richly colored blossoms that will remain spectacular throughout the season. Cheers
