Soil & Mulch

Share This Page

Good quality soil and mulch are important factors in the overall health and longevity of your garden. At Country Basket Garden Centre, we carry a wide variety of soil and mulch product to fit the needs of Niagara gardeners.



Soil & Mulch

Before planting your flowers, vegetables, trees or shrubs it is important to start with good quality soil.

Ideally, your garden will have crumbly, organically-rich soil which drains well and holds nutrients. Unfortunately, most of Niagara suffers from soil with too much clay in it.

While the clay soil conditions may be perfect for Niagara's wineries, they are often frustrating for Niagara's gardeners to work with. The good news is that you can improve your clay soil to make it easier to work with.

By adding peat, compost, manure or leaf clippings to your soil you will make your garden more hospitable to a wider range of plants.

Here at the Country Basket Garden Centre, we carry Triple Blend soil which consists of manure, peat and loam; all of which are ideal for improving your clay soil conditions.

Improving your clay soil will not happen overnight and you will need to supplement your soil each spring for a few years.

Did You Know?

  • A healthy lawn starts with a healthy root system, which means you’ll want to start with a minimum of 8 inches of topsoil for your grass to establish its root. Make sure your topsoil is level to minimize low areas and depressions that can lead to wet areas that can drown out or cause winter kill in your lawn.
