Soil & Mulch Deals

Soil on sale for garden planting

Soil & Mulch Deals lists each mulch sale and potting soil offer for beds, borders and containers. Potting mix, garden soil, raised-bed blends and compost share space with bark, rubber and stone ground cover, which helps you fill new beds before planting season at a gentler cost.

Mulch sale: how much do you need, and which type?

• Bagged mulch is easy to compare once you know a 2-cubic-foot bag covers about 12 square feet at 2 inches deep.
• Organic mulches like shredded bark and pine straw break down and feed soil, while rubber or stone lasts longer but adds no nutrients.
• When choosing soil, pick potting mix for containers and garden or raised-bed mix for in-ground beds, since they drain differently.
• Keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks and house siding to limit rot and pests, so plan for a ring rather than a mound.

Which suits you: Container gardeners mostly need bagged potting mix, while homeowners covering large beds may prefer bulk soil or mulch delivered by the cubic yard.
