On of our growers has dramatically improved his soils by feeding his leafy greens from hills that have had alfalfa pellets added. Others add compost alone. When buying top soil be sure it is not too high in sand especially if your soil is sandy or gravelly. In the Cobble Hill area Central Landscape is the closest supplier of soil and compost.

Might you be able to suggest any sellers ? I'm not a farmer but I am planning a garden for a few families benefit. Many thanks, John 250-715-8658 Hello,
