Importance of custom-made soil

• Custom-made soil is designed to perform all functions of an ideal natural soil, using inert and clean organic materials such as perlite, sand, peat moss, and sawdust, etc.
• Advantages of custom-made soil include:
  • Provides excellent drainage and aeration for roots, and balanced feeding for plants.
  • Keeps subsoil damp and soft, allowing roots to penetrate and obtain additional minerals.
  • Warms up sooner in springtime, thus allowing earlier planting.
  • Keeps roots cool in hot weather, helping plants thrive.
  • Virtually eliminates weeds, if built and cared for properly.
  • Saves water, since organic materials hold water longer and better than most mineral soils.
