Buying soil

9 years ago

New build, so the soil right around the house will be that filler stuff they use. Texas.


I'm looking at two options to bring in to begin amending- I don't have much $$ to spend, but I will be able to add something all the way around to begin to improve it.


-Our recycling center sells a compost they make from garden and food waste. If it's a good compost- they have large buildings they make/keep it in- are there weed seeds that would make it through the process, generally?

- The landscaping company here sells "mushroom compost" and "premium compost," both which are stored outside.


Should I definietly stay away from the landscaping company stuff? The recycling stuff? What do you all suggest I use? I've only got about $200 and a truck! $40/ton at recycling center, have not yet called landscaper's.
