WATTERS TOP SOIL 1.5cf

Watters Top Soil versus Watters Premium Mulch. They're both garden helpers, but they serve different purposes. Think of topsoil as the foundation and mulch as the finishing touch.

Watters Top Soil is all about building a rich, healthy base for your plants. It blends good, quality soil, often mixed with compost or other organic matter. This provides essential nutrients and establishes a good growing environment for roots. When you're planting new beds, filling holes, or leveling uneven areas, topsoil is your go-to. It amends the native soil, improving its structure and fertility.

Watters Premium Mulch is more about what happens on top of the soil. It's a protective layer that sits on the surface, helping to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. It also breaks down slowly, adding organic matter over time, but its primary job is to create a beneficial environment for existing plants.

So, you wouldn’t use topsoil instead of mulch, but rather in conjunction with it. Topsoil improves the soil, while mulch improves the conditions around the plants growing in that soil. You need a good foundation to build a house, and you need good soil to grow a garden. Mulch is the finishing touch, like the roof and siding, protecting what’s underneath.
