President's Choice - This is by far the best hardwood mulch available and is the choice of professional landscapers and true gardeners. This product is "all bark" and has no other wood mixed in. It is very fine in texture with a deep rich brown color. Since the product is so fine it will decompose slightly faster than other mulch products adding nutrients to the soil and helps to keep soil loose.
Premium Triple Processed - Hardwood mulch product, medium brown in color and has a medium/fine texture. This mulch is made from hardwood trees.
EconoBlend - Hardwood mulch product, light brown in color and has a rough processed texture. Suited for large areas, secluded locations or the budget conscious gardener.
Red, Gold, Black & Chocolate Engineered - The Red & Black are hardwood mulch products that are dyed with a vegetable dye. The Gold mulch is made from recycled materials, primarily ground up wood pallets dyed with vegetable dye. This product does not break down very quickly and holds its color for approximately 2-3 years. However, this is not a natural product and will not benefit the soil conditions. It will however help retain soil moisture in plant beds.
Certified Play Mulch - When installed properly, this material is designed to protect children in case of a fall on the playground. This is wood chips that have been tumbled to eliminate slivers to little ones. This product due to the chipped nature is not recommended in areas other than playgrounds or pathways.
Mushroom Compost - This is a recycled soil that was used to grow mushrooms. It includes ingredients like wheat, straw, peat moss, gypsum, cottonseed meal & manure. It is weed free and organic. This compost is good anywhere in your landscape for trees, shrubs, flowers and even vegetable gardens. Be sure to mix well with soil, this product may burn tender plants.
Topsoil - Pulverized and clean. It is free from most rocks and debris, it is impossible to get all of the rocks out in the screening process, but the soil is shifted thru screens and is broken in to very fine, almost powder like texture. This is a very good product to use in new planting areas, to mix in planting & to fill low areas (depending on the depth), or to put down before you seed.
Garden Mix - An equal composition of topsoil, sand and mushroom compost used primarily to fill or top dress planting beds and garden areas.
Bumper Crop® - Whispering Hills recommends using this soil conditioner when planting. It is an all organic soil builder with high organic nutrient content. It is regionally formulated with ingredients like: forest humus, chicken manure, sea kelp, bat guano and it is pH balanced. Contains endo- & ecto-mycorrhizal fungi. This is one of the best selling Master Nursery soil products.
