Products from Nature's Way Resources:
Native Mulch (composted and screened 1") - 40 lb. bag - $6
Leaf Mold Compost (screened 3/8" fine) - 40 lb. bag - $6
This product is produced primarily from recycled leaves, with a little grass, and horse manure mixed in and is slowly composted over two years to ensure quality. The name Leaf Mold comes from the old English words "Leaf Mould" which means produced by a very slow breakdown of leaves (from trees and shrubs) into a rich humus. After a long slow composting period it is screened to ensure consistency and size. This product is rich in beneficial microbes and used on lawns, vegetable gardens, annuals, and in flower beds.
