Hardwood mulch, topsoil compost blend, or compost.
Address map 7050 S. Dorchester Ave.Instead of driving to Home Depot to buy plastic bags of high priced compost, mulch and topsoil that was harvested, processed, sold and used in different locations, I can stay in the neighborhood and dig my own organic soil made from locally recycled trees. The carbon footprint is lower at every stage, it's cheaper and it takes much less time. Take your own gloves and shovel or use theirs. Fill large paper lawn bags (provided) with the product you need, hand over $1.50, and you're done. Truckloads and delivery also available. The guys are friendly, the facility is a working space but well organized, and it's really interesting to see the "tree recycling" machines at work. Two green thumbs up.

It's a wonderful thing when someone finally recycles trees.
