Renewed Earth Landscaping Soil Blends consist of professional grade soils, manufactured compost based soil, and economical compost amended soils
Benefits
Renewed Earth soil blends have the right kind and concentration of "life." They are more productive than other landscaping soils because of the healthy population of soil microbes, fungi, algae, mycetes, and bacteria. These "bugs" make up the living phase of the soil and are important in the complex reactions between diseases, insects, and plant growth.
Benefits of Renewed Earth Soils
- Contain essential micronutrients and humic acid necessary for increased turf vigor.
- Have beneficial soil bacteria and fungi for natural plant health.
- High organic humus content provides excellent macro and micro nutrient retention for slow release availability to turf roots.
- Better water holding capacity while providing necessary soil aeration.
- Easier to install because of resistance to compaction, even under wet conditions.
- Optimum soil structure promotes quick root establishment.

The pre-blended material is then run through a screening machine into large cone shaped storage piles. As needed, the finished soil is hauled to indoor storage.
