Knott Compost
Dark, medium-fine compost blended from local yard debris. It is often used as a ground cover as it absorbs heat and maintains soil moisture.

Ultra-fine Knott Compost product. It's rich, dark color absorbs heat. This material will also hold moisture. Perfect for top dressing lawns and seeding projects, can also be used as a garden soil amendment.
Pumice
3/8-1/8 Horticultural
Locally harvested, pumice is a porous rock that is useful for potting soil mixtures and raised bed soils. It is pH neutral, aids in the moisture retention of light, sandy soils while also allowing proper drainage. It is lightweight and appropriate for rooftop garden mixtures.
As an alternative, we also carry prepackaged horticultural grade perlite for Master Gardner's who create their own potting soils for hanging baskets.
The following is a list of the ingredients used in all of our soils and composts. It does not describe any particular product. The actual ratios are proprietary. but if you would like to discuss a particular product please give us a call
Base Sand
Locally harvested, base sand is another key component for potting, and raised bed soil mixtures. Our base sand is coarse which allows proper drainage. Finer sand will turn soil into a cement and drainage will be come a problem.
Potting Soil Additive
Blended in our yard, potting soil additive is typically used by large scale nurseries to cut higher grade potting soil. It is not a soil, but it is a soil additive.
