What
do I use to mulch plants?
Texas Alive Mulch is
a combination of aged ground mulch and compost. This mulch is dark
in color, keeps plants cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter,
maintains moisture, and feeds the plants.
What
do I use to plant trees and shrubs?
Beauty Grows 5 in 1
is a ready to use planting mix. It has humus compost (fungal based) and
manure compost (bacterial), Texas Granite sand, and humates.
What
material do I use on
roses?
The Beauty Grows 5 in
1 is designed for roses and raised bed plantings. You need to add
Canadian peat moss to this for the roses. This mix has humus
compost (fungal base) and manure (manure and stable bedding and poultry
manure), Texas Granite Sand, and humates.
What
should I use as a low-maintenance ground cover around my brick house?
Think about Texas
Granite Decorative Stone -- the same stone used at the State Capitol in
Austin. These are long lasting, approximately 1" in diameter,
dark pink with black flecks, matching many of the brick homes.
Remember to use a weed barrier cloth and your plants will love the rich
minerals contained in these stones. Use native or xeriscape plants
that tolerate the heat, and you will have a low maintenance landscape.
What
do I use on my trails and walkways?
Decomposed Granite
Sand packs well, is easy to walk on, yet drains the water well. It
is not muddy and weeds appear to dislike the low pH. You will see
it around Towne Lake and the many miles of the Hike and Bike Trail.
What
material is used for playscapes?
The Pea Pebbles are smooth round stones that do not stick to the child's
skin. It is used by many public schools for playscapes and play
areas.
What
material is good for ground cover where dogs dig?
The River Rock are smooth with natural earth tone colors that do not wash
away easily and dogs do not dig in them.
What
do I use for a low maintenance landscape groundcover?
Use a quality weed
cloth that will prevent Bermuda grass runners. Use xeriscape or
native plants that tolerate heat. Our Oyster-White Landscape Stone
matches the many limestone houses in Central Texas.
What
do I use on turf to revitalize it?
Use Dillo Dirt Compost
and spread 1/4-1/2" deep( 1 cubic yard will cover
1296 sq. ft./ 648 sq. ft., respectively). It will bring life
back to your lawn. This compost won national awards by the City of
Austin Waste Water Treatment Facility. From my personal
experience, I believe that what I spent to apply compost 2-3 times per
year, I saved in water bill usage. Plus earthworms returned to my
yard and they are thriving. I do not get brown patch fungus or
even have fire ants. My yard is a beautiful, safe place for my
children to play.
What
do I use to fill holes in my turf?
The Flower and
Garden Soil is a ready to use mix with composted soil, humates, Texas
Granite Sand, hummus, and manure compost. It has the components to
get your grass growing healthy and strong.
What
should I use to amend my flower and vegetable beds?
Triple Power
Compost is great -- it contains manure, stable bedding, poultry manure,
humates and hummus. Mix approximately 1" of compost into the
top 4-6" of soil. Research has shown (see www.soilfoodweb.com)
that the manure-based compost (bacterial based) provides excellent
results in flower and vegetable plants.
What
is a good ready-to-use planting mix for flowers and vegetables?
Flower and Garden
Soil is a compost-based mix with humates, granite sand and composted
soil. Alive with microbes and nutrients ready to grow.
How
much do I need?
(Length x Width x
Depth) / 324 = Cubic Yards Needed
The Length in feet multiplied by the Width in feet multiplied by the
Depth in inches and divide by 324 equals the amount in cubic yards
needed to fill an area.
