If CG found a syrup that would compliment Landscape Mix, he would eat it for breakfast. It's really good stuff! This particular brand used to be sold at home depot, but now, it seems to be sold exclusively at wal mart. It costs $3.62, and it's a healthy 2 cubic foot size (CG has seen 3 cubic foot products sold in the same size bag). This type of landscape mix consists of finely grated bark, so it breaks-down relatively fast (good for adding organic material to the soil). It's lighter than soil, (especially after watering) so it's ideal to use in pots and planters.
CG has been hand-tilling this product into some heavy clay areas with good results. It is also used in larger beds as a 'filler' between planting areas. Since it's pre-packaged and easy to store for long periods of time, landscape mix can be combined with top soil to 'stretch-out' any limited quantities. Perlite, peat, and landscape mix can make any dirt become top grade potting soil.
Please pass the syrup!
