Naturally enrich your garden with Black Garden Soil

One basic step for successful gardening is taking care of your soil and the folks at BigYellowBag provide a great solution to do just that. Now you can bring your soil alive with a BigYellowBag of Black Garden soil!

By incorporating 1 inch of this soil into 2 to 3 inches of your existing soil, you will loosen up heavy clays allowing air and water to percolate in-and-out, or it also helps retain moisture in light sandy soils. Therefore this increases the natural microbial activity in your soil to get it working for you and helping your flowers and plants flourish like never before!

Helps Lawns, too

By spreading 1/4 to 1/2 inch of BigYellowBag Black Garden Soil and raking it into to your lawn it will enhance the over-all performance of your lawn by adding beneficial microbial activity.
