Q&A
What soil mix do you recommend for raised garden beds in our area?
For raised beds in Cerritos, our Planter Mix is a popular choice. It's a balanced blend of topsoil and compost that provides good drainage and nutrients, which is ideal for the vegetables and flowers commonly grown here. We can also help you customize a mix if you have specific plants in mind.
How can I prevent mulch from washing away during Southern California rains?
Mulch erosion is a common issue here. We recommend our hardwood mulch, which knits together better than some lighter options. For best results, apply a 2-3 inch layer and avoid piling it against plant stems or tree trunks. Properly edging your beds also helps keep the mulch in place during heavier rainfall.
Do your hours change with the seasons?
Yes, our hours extend in the spring and summer to accommodate the increased demand for soil, compost, and mulch. In the winter, we adjust our focus and inventory to include firewood. We recommend checking our current hours online or giving us a quick call before you visit, as we aim to be available when our customers need us most.
