Gardening Soils and Mulches
There are three critical elements that will make or break your gardening and landscaping in northern Virginia: mulch, soil and compost. These three components work together to provide coverage, act as a seed bed and to deliver important nutrients to the trees, shrubs, grasses and all of your landscaping elements.
At Gateway Home & Garden Center we locally source our compost so it is the highest quality you’ll find anywhere. Composts can help make the best mulches because they improve the soil they cover. The nutrients and minerals found in the compost work with the biology of your plants and trees to make them healthier and more vibrant. Composts can also be used as soil amendments. Organic matter is necessary not only for soil moisture retention, but also for maintaining adequate populations of beneficial soil microbes, essential in facilitating plant nutrient uptake. The right compost for your yard depends on the type of soil you have.
