This basic garden mix adds compost to our screened topsoil product. After mixing, we then screen the soil again, creating a double-screened, fertilized soil that is rich in nutrients. The name comes from the composition: 70% screened loam, 30% compost. We use our quality, aged compost which is extremely rich in nutrients.
Note that all of our topsoil (used in our mixes) was originally farmer’s field topsoil and therefore can have small stones which can pass through our screening process. These small stones do not detract in any way from the quality of the soil or the ability for your plants to grow. We have all our topsoil stockpiles regularly tested as well as our garden mix blends. If you would like those soil tests sent to you just email us at [email protected].

Soil Products in Calgary
Soil products are used in a variety of ways depending on their composition and purpose:
- Agriculture. Fertilizers enriched with nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are used to improve the fertility of agricultural land. Organic matter, such as decomposed plant material, is added to the soil to improve its structure, moisture retention, and nutrient content. Animal waste (manure) is used as a natural fertilizer to enrich the soil.
- Gardening. Potting soil is used for growing plants in containers. Its composition often includes peat, perlite, vermiculite, and other components. Mulch is a layer of material placed on the soil surface to conserve moisture, improve fertility, and reduce weed growth.
- Landscaping. The top layer of soil, rich in organic matter and nutrients, is used for gardening, lawns, and landscaping. Products such as lime or gypsum improve soil properties such as pH balance or drainage.
- Construction. Backfill soil is used to fill depressions or create mounds and embankments in construction projects.
Each type of soil product is tailored to specific needs, helping to improve soil health, plant growth, environmental quality, and construction stability.
How to Choose Soil Products?
Choosing soil products involves understanding your plant’s needs, assessing your existing soil conditions, and identifying your specific goals. First, determine the type of plants you’re growing, as different plants have unique soil requirements. Next, assess your soil’s texture, pH level, and nutrient content, often through a soil test.
Based on this assessment, choose soil products that improve soil structure, enhance nutrients, and provide proper drainage. Familiarize yourself with various soil products like topsoil, compost, potting soil, peat moss, vermiculite, and mulch, and select high-quality options with clear labeling.
