Mulch Mound Pro Tip
McGregor's clay-heavy native soil can make in-ground gardening frustrating without significant amendment, which is why many local gardeners find raised beds and large containers a more productive alternative worth the investment. Filling containers with a custom blend of quality topsoil, compost, and a portion of perlite creates a growing medium that drains well, warms faster in spring, and outperforms native clay for vegetables and herbs across the whole season. Ordering topsoil and compost in bulk from MulchMound makes filling multiple raised beds practical in a single delivery, with extra material on hand to top-dress as soil settles through the growing season.
