When I first started landscaping, it seemed so complex. So many options and styles to choose from. But after landscaping for myself for many years I discovered a formula that has helped my garden take off. I stopped using bark for my beauty beads and I started using organic compost as my top dressing. Wow, what a difference. Not only do I not have to fertilize which saves money, but my plants have taken off. I use compost from Cedar Grove Compost in Maple Valley Washington, but I am sure there are many sources out there just like them.
I can say enough how easy it has made my life and I love the dark color that doesn't fade like bark does. I like to use this new product that they have, it's call Northwest Garden Mulch. It's a 50/50 bark/compost blend. The bark makes it spread a bit easier and it gives it a nice texture. Let me know if you have some great tricks for making your garden grow and simplifying your chore.
