Testimonials

I have been using ECO Soils and coco for many years now. Here are a few reason why I wouldn't want to have a garden without them. Rockwool has been put in start up gardens that needed extra nutrients put into the soil. I can dig a hole for a small tree, put ECO Soils and dirt mix in the hole, plant the tree and water well. After the tree is planted I put extra ECO Soils around the tree trunk so moisture will be held in. I don't have to water continually. Coco is put every spring and fall around the base of trees and added to flower gardens. It looks great and helps keep moisture in the ground through dry spells as well as add extra nutrients to all my plants. Flower pots at my home all have some ECO Soils l or coco put into the soil for extra moisture around roots and for nutrient value. These soil enhancers are great for any type of soil. I use ECO Soils or coco mixed with soil to cover grass seeds on bare lawn spots. Gardening is a lot more fun with my soil enhancers. My neighbours love a gift of ECO Soils or coco for their gardens as well.
