CONTAINER GARDEN SOIL


We purchased 1 cubic yard of root zone mix soil at IFA in American Fork for $50. One cubic yard filled three of the hypertufa containers in our garden. This is a mixture of compost, utelite, and peat moss, which is supposed to hold moisture well in containers and was recommended by IFA for our puposes.


Lettuce is starting to sprout. It was planted two weeks ago. Also sprouting are beets and spinach (not pictured.)








This weekend we filled the next three containers with soil. This row will be for the summer garden. We are anxiously awaiting the last frost date!
